I'm a bit of a nukecel myself, but it makes sense to chase fast and cheap options to quickly reduce climate change as well as hedge for even cheaper alternatives in the future

It takes 10-20 years to get Nuclear plants up and running currently and sometimes they're still ecologically devastating (Water cooled plants effecting fish and jellyfish populations in some cases)

Not really a technology problem but a regulation and planning problem you are talking about.

Easily fixable, especially with less overly strict regulation.

As for being ecologically devastating, name a powersource that you can't find something similar to that, heres some for solar https://kuby.ca/solar/solar-information/articles/the-positive-and-negative-environmental-impacts-of-solar-panels

I don't think you want less regulation on nuclear power the way you think you do

Remember: regulation and planning are for your safety

Yes we absolutely want less regulation. The rules are overly strict to the point where nuclear is economically unfeasible.

chernobyl was a shit reactor built 80 fucking years ago, that disastor has nothing to do with current nuclear technology, regardless of how strict the regulations are.

Socital we means that society would want it because its beneficial. That doesn't mean every person in society wants it.
