    All this talk about nuclear only does one thing, keeping fossil fuels relevant for longer.

      Exactly. They’ve brought up nuclear because they’re desperate to have some kind of energy policy, but one they know they’ll never have to bring to fruition because that allows them to continue with coal and gas for as long as possible.

      I tend to agree. The right time to build nuclear was like 30 years ago.

      The same people who opposed it then are the same people saying it’s the future now. If anybody agrees to build it, the you’ll have 15-20 years of renewable energy being cancelled because the “nuclear is on the way”.
