I was previously ardently against nuclear power, and now I'm staunchly for it.
The world needs to be rid of oil, there are few other things that have caused as much human and environment suffering as oil. Hell, I even back bio fuels, as bad as they are, as long we can conclusively show they have a major impact in oil use and aren't just a subsidy handout farmers.

- deeviant 5y agoYep. Still for it. The plants don't need to be in non-nato countries, they need to be in NATO countries and help eliminate the need for oil.

Unfortunately there is such a thing as cloudy days, night time, and days without wind.
