Thank you for the link. I noticed a huge pro-nuclear sentiment in several places, Reddit, Lemmy, and sometimes here. It is an interesting energy source, but it has huge drawbacks compared to other energy sources. The price/time to build and operating costs are significant. Most current reactors need to be heavily subsidized with taxes to be competitive. Plus, of course, the waste challenge.
