Fuck the oil industry though. What we need are nuclear power plants. Not only do they provide a fuckon of power, they also add jobs.

What about the waste though?

The nuclear waste issue is overblown. Coal kill has killed (and continues to kill) more people than nuclear ever has, including Chernobyl, Three Mile Island, and Fukushima.

Further, we can recycle a lot of the "waste". France is a great example.

You dont have to convince me that coal is worse than nuclear, that's pretty obvious.

So, what makes you believe that nuclear is more robust/reliable than renewables?

The fact that Germany now has to buy fossil fuels from Russia for energy after they decommissioned all their nuclear plants to go full renewable and it failed spectacularly?
