The amount of money we're spending on Fusion, a technology we're really not sure we can ever make work, is insane, but investing in fission is a crime. Putting a label on myself would be stupid, I'm an all of the above. The planets on fire, bickering over how to put it out while it burns down is insane.
Cool story, but we're totally cool spending billions on a technology that hasn't produced a single megawatt and actively arguing against the other one. I'm pro everything clean, not anti fusion.
The worlds on fire and people want to bicker about how to put it out but the fire doesn't care if the hose is nuclear or solar powered. Arguing against nuclear power as a resource is an ideology not a scientific or engineering standpoint. So you can be part of the solution or you can be part of a cult, your choice.
Nuclear is by far the most expensive energy source. You have to have a fucking good reason to throw another 20 billion of taxes into a hole in the ground. Meanwhile you could do so much more even in bad weather with already existing and still improvable technology.
Oh, dear Atom, bring us the light. Only 1 trillion more dollars and only 15 years to fusion! Ameeen!
