    Not to mention everything else wrong with nuclear in the short term. We need socialism just to figure out how to make nuclear safe for everyone.

    Don't fall for the nuclear lobby's propaganda! The Koch's own most nuclear tech in the US.

      Lmao what does this even mean? Do you actually know anything about nuclear power or are you talking out of your ass?

      Ionizing radiation emission from nukes is extraordinarily low, an order of magnitude better than coal and natural gas plants. With good maintenance and proper storage of spent fuel it is quite literally THE safest mode of non-renewable power.

      The Kochs own nukes but they don't really care about them, the culture wars they can spin up for the coal lobby is far more effective as they have much more invested in the continuation of fossil fuels. There's a lot of terrible people involved in the nuclear power industry. That doesn't erase the appeal of the technology itself.
