I am not against nuclear per se, but Chernobyl and Fukushima taught me that accidents will happen, so in order to get my support, build them as far away from where I live as possible.
I prefer wind and especially solar over nuclear because:
- no megacorp and state monopolies (more price competition)
- faster innovation cycles
- faster scaling / much shorter project timeframes
- decentralization (on national and individual levels)
- romantic hopes of independence / self-reliance (on national and individual levels)
Not so much because of monetary or efficiency considerations. The nuclear lobby should address these points to get me to listen.
