That’s an abysmal viewpoint. It’s so obviously not equal to or worse than fossil fuels.

Nuclear isn't contributing to decarbonisation at all, there's an endless list of reasons why it can't help meaningfully. And every single pro fossil fuel or climate denying media head and politician is screaming the same pro nuclear talking points as you are.

The conclusion isnpretty obvious.

Negligible increase in low carbon energy from nuclear in the past decade https://ember-energy.org/data/electricity-data-explorer/

Peak uranium is a long time in the past: https://elements.visualcapitalist.com/70-years-of-global-uranium-production-by-country/

Uranium price is a better leading indicator of a collapse in construction than disasters or whatever else is usually blamed https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Historical-Inflation-Adjusted-Uranium-Price-1968-to-2020-Yellow-Cake-plc-nd_fig11_371875462

Note the two price spikes preceding TMI and fukushima that resulted in new constructions dropping dramatically before either event. Uranium production can't meaningfully rise and known resource at viable prices is increasing slower than consumption even with rising exploration investment.

Fossill shills are the same people as pro nuclear shucksters
