That's weird. Considering commercial scale nuclear power plants exist all over earth right now. And if the "future has already begun," then we are living in that future, and it does include "nukes" providing clean safe power to probably a billion people on earth. Too bad the fossil fuel industry knows that nuclear reactors are the only threat to their existence and has pumped anti-nuclear propaganda to the mainstream envrionmental movement for the past 50 years.

Wake up, let's save our future.

Most of the current nukes are old and nearing their end of life. The few ones that were built recently all wildly ran over schedule and budget. Saying that anti-nuclear sentiment is pushed by the fossil industry is breathtakingly ass-backwards. It's exactly the fossil lobby that has been pushing nukes lately as a smokescreen to delay the adoption of renewables.

Source needed. Show me the receipts of the fossil fuel industry secretly funding nuclear power.
