edit: I know that this is some political compass meme, but i know way too many real-life people who are into green everything, but are afraid of nuclear.
- h0l0cube 4y agoIt's a little unfair categorization of why people are averse to nuclear energy. It really doesn't help that both government controlled and commercial operations have traded-off costs for safety leading to high-profile incidents. Nuclear energy has robust and passive fail-safes, like MSR designs, but it has a branding issue, and that's thanks to misincentives for cost-cutting on critical systems. New nuclear has to provide better assurances to the public, and how it does that, I'm not so sure.
