I love that the article mentions one of my biggest gripes with nuclear power, that it does not lend itself to scaling down to the level of the individual household.
The inescapable implication is that nuclear is inherently a centralized, big government or big industry solution... in stark contrast to household-scale solutions like solar and wind, which tend to promote the preservation of individual freedom and self determination, since control can stay with the individual owners.
- mimixco 8y agoGreat point! When I attended the NRC hearing over the proposed new nuclear plant for Turkey Point (FL), a local mayor produced evidence that Florida Power & Light could put solar panels and Tesla batteries on every home in their market area for less than the cost of building another nuclear plant. The future of green energy lies in decentralizing its production.
