I hope you're right on number 2. We have to make sure that environmentalists don't succeed in demonizing whatever technology comes out on top. Now, at last, many young, educated people, especially with a technical background, are pro-nuclear. So, I am cautiously optimistic.

- _ph_ 4y agoWhile there are of course radical environmentalists whose position often have little to do with actual environment protection, most people wouldn't object to a technology just because it is new. But of course, if it is really bad for the environment, people will rightfully object. And while nuclear is low-carbon, what certainly is of high importance, there are serious environmental concerns. It is not crazy nor demonizing, if you raise those.
