I am interested in hearing your opinions about nuclear power, what you know, if you have any fears, or ideas? Do you know if your country has any nuclear power generation?

    pros:

    • High ouput

    cons:

    • overall extremely expensive (you’ll pay the govt. subsidies too, also the cleaning up after 50+ years)
    • strategic target
    • risk for population with “oversights” (big-money attracts corruption) *
    • “fuel”:
      • geopolitical dependencies (mainly russia)
      • even getting it is a ecological disaster (and its fans then call it “clean energy”)
      • radioactive + toxic waste problem still not solved

    All in all, it is a great excuse to have the expensive infrastructure for nukes and submarines (see France).

    * the stories i know only from the rather thorough & proper countries Switzerland, Germany, France… it’s crazy.
