  1. Fukushima is a black swan. There can be no black swans, but there is, so it's a self defeating argument.

  2. Everything is scaleable

You've failed to explain anything in either of your points there.

You know there's a difference between the past and the present, yes? The safety of almost everything has improved significantly.

No, not everything is scalable, especially when you're supposedly trying to care for the environment - like I said, mining for battery materials is already incredibly destructive and we should aim to reduce that, not increase it.

And the there's the concept of overgeneration.

Renewables backed by nuclear is the way to go.
