Nuclear is safer per terawatt hour than hydro and wind. https://ourworldindata.org/safest-sources-of-energy
That’s not the point. Only states can deploy nuclear energy. A city or province can’t do it. Only fossil fuels or renewables can guarantee local energy sovereignty. And since fossil fuels are bad, that leaves only renewables.
Only states can deploy nuclear energy.
So what? Your point is an extremely narrow view. You should have been more clear in your initial comment. It’s not renewables OR nuclear only. Investment can be made in both.
Some other snippets from a couple of your other comments:
Nuclear is bad.
For my own country,
A city or province can’t do it. Only fossil fuels or renewables can guarantee local energy sovereignty.
So let me get this straight. You ignorantly declare “Nuclear is bad” in response to an article about the United States expanding its nuclear production capacity. In another comment further down, a user suggested you explain more of your reasoning. There you mention “For your own country”, which I can only conclude is not the US, and you appear confused/upset as to why others are arguing with you?
Pro-nuke energy is getting more and more indefensible after each disaster. May I remind you that literally nobody knows how to deal with long term storage of nuclear waste. No, dumping them in bunkers is not a long-term solution and never was sustainable.
New developments in nuclear technology like with small modular reactors would produce more nuclear waste than conventional reactors. Not to mention that there isn’t enough uranium in the entire Earth for the whole world to shift to nuclear. It’s dangerous, expensive, and its waste is also dangerous and expensive.
