Another lie is that the plants will only be used at night.

I'd rather see nuclear than coal. Nukes emit zero emissions when generating the electricity. We have to deal with the waste, which is a doozy.
Nuclear waste turns into lead as it breaks down, right? So why not invest it in lead-acid batteries for the EV's that are getting charged by the nuclear power?

(Asinine, I know...)
