Funny how solar, wind, and batteries are way cheaper and faster to build yet people are still talking about nuclear.

If only people weren't fearmongering about nuclear 50 years ago we'd have clean energy today.

Stopping nuclear from being built is the problem.

We would have had a lot more clean energy than we do by now if we let the nuclear power plants that "would take too long to build!" be built back then, because they'd be up and running by now.

More letting perfect be the enemy of good.
