    They are Scary if you don’t do any research into it to find out that the amount of scare mongering in the world right now is unjust.

    Yes, because energy companies would never cheap out on safety for the sake of profit.

    NAVSEA’s safety record is 100% due to explicit, institutional anal-retentiveness. Rickover was a power tripping dick, but God damn was he effective. PG&E would shut down if they had to get ORSE’d

    The biggest, best argument against nuclear energy is the limited fuel supply.

    If the world replaced base load power with nuclear (as a nuclear plus solar plus wind energy mix) we would only have enough uranium for something like 50 years

    The waste storage problem isn’t worth it for so little time, but OTOH we need to solve the storage problem anyway, and 50 years of CO2 clean power would be useful for aiding decarbonising the energy supply
