    No it’s about nuclear waste and where to store it, it’s about how expensive it is to build a nuclear power plant (bc of regulations so they don’t goo boom) and it’s about how much you have to subsidize it to make the electricity it produces affordable at all. Economically it’s just not worth it. Renewables are just WAY cheaper.

      Funny how people think waste is why we don’t use nuclear power.

      You noticed how we’re all fine breathing in poison and carcinogens? Still haven’t banned burning fossil fuels.

      It’s a money problem and a PR problem

      Renewable are so cheap, especially when we don’t need as much energy! Fortunately we won’t need as much energy in winter now. :-)
