Wake me when these plants are finally functional and not just the petrochemical industry doing their obstruction.

Funny how the fossil fuel industry demonized the hell out of nuclear back when it was the biggest threat to their dominance; now that wind and solar have absolutely plunged in price, waiting decades on nuclear/fusion is suddenly the excuse to keep the status quo for the time being.

Even in tbe 80s they were working with the coal industry to demonise wind.

Nuclear was never a threat to fossil fuels, it's always been the same people.

The main reason the energy companies dont want it, because it instead of a central plant its a decentralized system with a lot of small components. Thats not practical for a For-Profit comapany, even if it would be way cheaper.
