@notjustbikes @LovesTha There was and interesting conversation between Robert Scheer and Thomas Bass (who wrote a book on Fukshima) I have not fully investigated the assertions from Thomas, but he posits that nuclear was never viable, it was only ever a subsidy to enable weapons, there are obviously other positive and negative outcomes from nuclear, but this seems credible from my cursory understanding. https://podcasts.captivate.fm/media/8b142d79-e9a0-474f-a9b0-42ea71256169/bob-and-bass-june-26-2026.mp3

    @houba @notjustbikes I haven't listened, but i would expect nuclear to be much more competitive if all externalities are included. Yes nuclear waste is bad, but a too hot planet is pretty bad too.
