> Imagine what our past would look like now if instead we had replaced all coal and gas with nuclear back then It's not hard to imagine, I'm French and we did replace most things with nuclear back then ^^ The result is that right now we are purchasing (probably coal made) electricity to our neighbors because around 50% of our theorical nuclear capacity is unavailable either for maintenance or because we don't manage to cool them enough with the current heat :) Nuclear is certainly a good thing overall but not the obvious and only solution to all problems as some would like to believe.
