    Most people who are against nuclear power, have the following reasons:

    • it’s the most expensive form of energy due to massive regulations
    • the power plants take way too long to build
    • nuclear waste is a problem, no one wants to have it buried near their homes
    • the fissile material is already rare and difficult to come by, mostly sourced from politically difficult regions, such as fucking Russia

    Nuclear power is not a solution.

      No one? My basement is available. Go right ahead and pay me and store it. I don’t want to hear a single person make this claim when I am inviting the industry to pay me for my basement.

      it’s the most expensive form of energy due to massive regulations

      So deregulate to the same standards Fossil Fuels are regulated at

      the power plants take way too long to build

      because of all of the red tape from your last point, as well as fossil fuel organized NIMBYS

      nuclear waste is a problem, no one wants to have it buried near their homes

      Again because disinformation spread by fossil fuel organized NIMBYS

      the fissile material is already rare and difficult to come by, mostly sourced from politically difficult regions, such as fucking Russia
