That nonsense has been debunked so many times. And no matter what, it’s simply physically impossible to build enough nukes quickly enough to have a meaningful impact.
Are we talking about the same thing? I’m talking about nuclear energy not nukes. And if you are talking about nuclear power plants, in what world do you think it’s impossible to build enough to have a meaningful impact? Each power plant produces a crazy amount of energy. Far more than solar and wind can. Solar and wind by themselves will in no way overtake fossil fuel power plants fast enough. Nuclear energy would be a great replacement until then.
Yes, and we should continue to develop new technologies and energy systems, you know, the way science and technology progresses. You sound like you would be advocating for steam engines when cars came along
Sure. But they should use the money for things that have a chance to make a positive impact.
Like?
Have you heard of renewables? Neat stuff.
IDK if you know this, but renewables aren’t on their own to cover all of our power needs everywhere.

It’s not a competition. You can and should do both. Putting all your eggs in renewables is just as shortsighted as not using them
We should use the technologies that are proven to work, available today and way way cheaper than anything else.
