I really wish there was not so much fear mongering around nuclear energy.

I really wish there was not so much fear mongering around nuclear energy.
- ncmncm 7y agoI wish there was not so much mindless boosterism. At no point was there ever a rational expectation of cost-effective nuke power generation, despite all the transparent "too cheap to meter" lies spread at the beginning. The original and remaining purpose was to provide an industrial base for weapons production processes. Money for tokamak fusion research has a similar purpose: a jobs program for high-neutron-flux physicists, to maintain a pool available for weapons work. There is no plausible expectation of ever getting practical power generation from tokamaks.
