    Yeah but nuclear has one very important advantage over alternatives, it puts all the power in the hands of billionaires. Smaller companies, farmers, even home owners with a pv, wind grid could supply power locally allowing communities to be in control of their own energy requirements which will mean the billionaires won’t have such a tight and deadly grip on their lives - what next?! Allowing free communication over a community run internet? Food security without needing to work eight hour days in awful conditions?

    It doesn’t matter how we generate power at long as the billionaires are the only ones able to do it, everything else must be derided and attacked endlessly for the good of our precious oligarchy.

      Good point you make here, for those of us living in cities, solar would be more difficult to scale as a solution, however I’m a strong believer that with the energy market potentially coming to the mainstream with gas stations building EV chargers that industrial scale solutions can be built to supply demands, people will simply find and think of new ways to harvest energy
