It’s such a shame nuclear power is such a non-starter politically. If we could go back in time, switching from coal to nuclear earlier would have been a massive change for climate change.
I’m still an optimist about this; at some point, if we keep pushing, we’ll reach a political will inflection point and actually start taking serious action on climate change. With serious financial backing, we will be able to scale up technological solutions to anthropogenic climate change.

Realistically, we’re already past the point where renewables are cheaper than nuclear, so it doesn’t make much sense to go into it now.
20 years ago would be a different story.
