According to the IEA we are spending more on nuclear power research than any other category. (More than wind and solar combined.) More money won't magically give us better nuclear technology. If renewables keep getting better we're going to have to start some serious conversations about cutting nuclear funding in a few years, we're investing too much money with basically zero return on investment.

- vkou 6y agoHow much of this R&D goes into nuclear power research, and how much of it is nuclear weapons research that is billed as power research? For example, the laser fusion research that hit 'break even' a few days ago was a byproduct of work on nuclear weapons.
