We should keep the nuclear we have, but it makes zero sense to build more when solar and wind with storage backups are vastly less expensive.
So, more pie in the sky, in other words.
What I don’t like about nuclear power is the dramatic consequences for poor countries who sadly have uranium mines.
Look at what’s happening in the african/France conflict.
