We're not supposed to talk politics, so I won't comment on the economic and political thoughts that came to mind when I read that nuclear clip.

If nuclear power (electricity generation) had its major cons eliminated, that'd be great. Radioactive waste, finite fuel source, (minding its own business) safety, and (nuclear weapons/war/"terrorism") safety are the big ones that come to mind.


How is that relevant?

What is that supposed to mean?
I disagree, and am willing to support my position with data.

Every decision carries infinite opportunity cost. We’ll never get to eat our cake and have it too.
