- _ph_ 7y agoWe don't need nuclear power to prevent our extinction. Yes, having like France a large set of active nuclear reactors helps keeping CO2 emissions down. But from a pure financial point of view even, it is far more efficient to use solar and wind (and water etc.). For the same amount of money you get a lot more energy produced than with nuclear.
