    I am all for nuclear if it powers ambulances. I don’t want nuclear to power the tenth plastic-shit plant building the next thing nobody needs or a billion SUVs.

    How is this different from Solar and Wind exactly? Wind and Solar can be used to power shitty consumer garbage factories just as easily as nuclear can?

      It’s not different :) I’d tend to say nuclear have a way higher footprint. But, you know, the best energy is the energy we save, not the one we burn.
