    To be fair the video is specifically about renewables. I have a feeling if he made one about nuclear he would be for it too.

    I find it weird how many people protest clean nuclear, almost like they don’t understand it.

    My eyes are really widened for the use of renewables though now after watching the video, so at least us who were mostly nuclear heads now see how good renewables have become at harvesting energy.

      the big problem with nuclear is just that there’s kinda no real reason for it anymore, renewables are just cheaper and better now.

      I guess maybe if you REALLY dedicate yourself to defending it, nuclear plants can make sense from a national security perspective? And it’s something we could spin up if the sun fucking dissapears one day.
      But a side from those two things i really can’t see any reason to build more nuclear (bringing back reactors that were decommissioned might make sense, i don’t know) when we could instead spend that effort on just plastering the landscape with wind turbines and solar panels and shove batteries in every apartment building…
