Nuclear accidents. Something to look forward to in the future in the way the water companies dump sewage into the waterways whenever it rains.
Investment needs to be 100% green. Not nuclear.
There’s currently no green alternative to baseload power.
Wind is great when it blows, solar is great when it’s not night, hydro is great when you need a quick boost to cope with people turning the kettle on at half-time.
Not investing in nuclear faster has arguably been a disaster for the environment. Whilst it has the risks that come with nuclear reactors, it has an extremely low carbon footprint. The amount of CO2 that has been produced due to our reliance on fossil fuels that could have been prevented with nuclear power is absolutely huge.
“Environmentalists” that oppose nuclear power are shooting themselves in the foot.
Storage. It is possible. Cheaper and safer. Safe potential, and chemical energy. It is even more realistic with current and future power grids.
Solar and wind energy never needed terms like nuclear semiotics. Safe technologies don’t need those terms.
