Namely, do you think it has a future in the wave of next gen clean energy sources? If you support it, do you think it will always be viable or that it should only be a temporary measure to get us off fossil fuels while our renewable infrastructure grows?
I’m still on the fence about nuclear, and centralized vs decentralized energy production (bc decentralized relies on batteries where the materials are mined under terrible conditions, not to mention the batteries themselves are terrible for the environment) . I wonder if anyone’s done a comparison of nuclear vs solar, in terms of waste byproducts and mining ethics, bc I bet its probably closer or even possibly more in favor of nuclear than many think.
Yes there are people who made that comparison. Solar is much worse than nuclear energy.
could you link the research pls?
