Too late, renewables have already reached parity output with nonrenewable options in some jurisdictions. And wind/solar has proven its cheaper/cleaner than digging Coal.
Nuclear fission facilities are a subsidized loss-leader 1950's technology.
1. No one wants the waste, and every dump has leaked (erasing these off google maps doesn't unpin the Geiger-counter net downstream)
2. No one wants to live near Reactor facilities cooling ponds
3. micro-reactors and the like... are fools errands that ignore the costly reality of securing the life-cycle of these facilities.
4. A $7B Fission facility could also equip every home on a distributed infrastructure in Texas 7 times over. Many homeowners are getting non-subsidized solar themselves, as they realize they will end up paying for the same boondoggle centralized projects.
The AstroTurf and scientific hubris is not enough to pass off this technology as sensible. Nuclear power only makes sense for deep space probes, the north pole, or a large submarine.
Have a wonderful day =)
