IMHO I do not think nuclear will save us from climate change - it takes too long to get going to be effective - but this is going to really agitate some chud/nerd brains worms

No perfect solution exists yet to handle nuclear waste for longer than all of recorded history, so we shouldn't do it. Let's cook to death and return to monke. I am a very serious science person.
Literally no serious person says that we shouldn't do it, their point is that the containment issues constrain how much capacity nuclear can actually provide to the grid in lieu of fossil fuels. There's also a limit to the construction of reactor vessels and cores because of the scarce materials they require which poses a further constraint. They're literally just trying to temper the expectations of terminally online science news readers who think nuclear is some magic solution to climate change because they don't understand its limitations properly
TBF the type of person who reads most of the crap put out science magazines thinks we will have fusion tech in 5 years anyway, science journalism is trash, just a constant merry-go-round of "new materials found that in next 5 years will stop climate change/world hunger/gravity/cure cancer/male pattern baldness ", it's no wonder techbros think we can just science our way out of any problems, this shit will rot your brain.
