minus-squarealvvayson@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6arrow-down3·10 months agoTrue, but there were also concerns about the proliferation of nuclear technology and the risks of nuclear war. If we could power the earth without nuclear or fossil fuels, that would be objectively better. But it just doesn’t seem possible. And trying to achieve an impossible goal while simultaneously burning even more carbon is irresponsible. So we need to quickly build out the required nuclear capacity.
