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.
