    Why go nuclear when renewable is so much cheaper, safer, future proof and less centralised?

    Don’t get me wrong. Nuclear is better than coal and gas but it will not safe our way of life.

    Just like the electric car is here to preserve the car industry not the planet, nuclear energy is still here to preserve the big energy players, not our environment.

      For what I’ve read, it’s beats nuclear tech exists and is ready to be built at scale now. Renewables are intermittent in nature and need energy storage to work at scale. We don’t have the tech for a grid wide energy storage.
