In light of climate change I lean towards it being positive but I'm not very informed on this.

    It doesn't matter. Debates on "nuclear good" in the abstract are useless (at least in America).

    If it's about policy, then for at least 50 years "pro-nuclear" has meant "give more money to Westinghouse execs and laugh as Westinghouse fails comically to build a plant for another 10 years." It has never, ever, meant "nationalize GE-Hitachi and Westinghouse and design nuclear power plants instead of bombs in Sandia."

    That's the more useful thing to push on, I think. After that's done we can debate how many nuclear plants AMERATOM should build.
