Why nuclear? Because as far as I can see, it's a dead industry dragging the green movement down, and we'd be better off investing billions into fusion than trying to keep alive a failing fission industry. Everyone I've talked to so far just repeats talking points from the nuclear industry.

>Why nuclear?

It creates massive amounts of energy.  

> it's a dead industry 

It's largely dead because of fears that don't really hold up anymore.  It's not because of a lack of progres.

I have to say, for me personally, I was very ignorant of the progress nuclear energy has made. My main gripe with it was the waste it produced and how it would effect the environment. And also I was weary of how stable these reactors were. But after watching that video it seems nuclear energy is relatively safe now and continuing to be more efficient and safe as we make progress with it and should be considered as a viable source of energy going forward.
