Need some smart people to help me out here. I MIGHT BE WRONG, WILLING TO LEARN
this might be considered a problematic opinion but for a very long time I was pro nuclear energy. by no means do I think we are ready to transition to nuclear, in the current Pol economy... but I do feel that there needs to be more research into how to dispose nuclear waste, minimise harm to communities, etc etc. for it to eventually become a viable solution. (1/n)
That is also a very ideal scenario in which a country spends time studying nuclear and doesn't do some weapon development on the side.
But today I saw an indigenous activist posted a reel that called nuclear a false solution. I am conflicted. Not now, but at some point we must aim for nuclear energy right? (2/n)
and statistically (I realise I sound like a STEM bro here) nuclear energy has led to significantly lesser fatalities as compared to other renewables.
And unless there isn't more research, we will never be able to completely reduce the number of fatalities. We aren't ready for power plants, but calling it a false solution and preventing research feels short sighted.
