    I’m all for nuclear power. We need to get off gas and coal ASAP, and nuclear is a reliable baseload power source that doesn’t require massive arrays of lithium or lead batteries, and doesn’t fluctuate with the rainy season. Ideally, I’d like us to go to more advanced nuclear power like molten salt reactors, but even light water is appreciated. I wouldn’t mind it even in my own backyard. We need reliable energy.
