i'll start: most "vote blue no matter who" liberals are actually good people (not including terminally online liberals as anyone who is terminally online is a bad person)
The peaceful development of nuclear energy is not only good and safer than other energy sources but probably the only path to the least shit level of climate change possible without some kind of eco-Thatcherist nightmare
Nuclear energy doesn't make sense in capitalism because doing it right isn't profitable
My only qualm with it is it's always trusted to people who I wouldn't trust to take my dog out for a poo.
It would be nice if we could have such facilities run by scientists in lab coats with clip boards, but in real life, it's Homer Simpson
That's an unpopular opinion? The development and praise of nuclear power is extremely popular on Hexbear. It for example always gets brought up that Germany closed them down as proof of its foolishness.
Anyway, I disagree. We should not be striving towards a society with consistently increasing energy consumption and switch to renewables as much as possible and focus on bringing balance to the world's ecosystems after capitalism threw them away for profit. A labor intensive energy source based on mining of rare earths is hardly the future, and yes I am aware that renewables also have issues - it is the tragedy of industrial society after all.
Nonetheless nuclear is definitely a lesser evil to many other forms of fossil fuels, so a useful stopgap where applicable.
