Good points. To be clear, my point was not that other energy sources are so much better than nuclear, but rather that we globally need to reduce energy spending instead of looking for a unicorn non-polluting energy source. In this regard, i believe cracking down on planned obsolescence, implementing strong (>30 years) warranties on every single thing you can buy, and promoting cooperative economic models (reducing "waste" due to competition) would do a lot more for the environment than any plan our governments have put forward. > Feel free to point to any sources that compare the two in terms of produced energy. I don't have any. And to be honest, the international supply chain is such a grim landscape that i believe it would be very hard to assess the overall impact of this or that resource being exploited. But all studies agree that the less resources we use, the better is it for all parties.
