      The scariest part of this is all the rural land they’re buying up. The rural areas were the only areas free of buldozing millions of years of natural habitats

      The thing is that nuclear energy could have been used to replace other things that uses oil energy instead. It could have lowered carbon emissions, instead it just adds to energy expense.

        As long as nuclear is required to be 1000x safer (not even hyperbole) than fossil fuels it will be expensive to run and the cost of nuclear for running home electricity is more than the average person wants to spend. So it wasn’t really going to replace a lot of other uses of oil anyway

          It already is. People are scared of nuclear waste, but many don’t realize that coal waste is far more dangerous and has killed millions more people than nuclear waste ever has. It is around 976,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000% more deadly than nuclear waste and also has storage issues. As in, it’s not being stored at all, unless you count the entire earth as storage
