   i'm on the fence about nuclear power.

   on the one hand, it is a clean (relatively speaking) source of power, and all historical catastrophes were results of bureaucratic incompetence rather than technical limitations

   on the other hand, nuclear technology goes hand-in-hand with nuclear weapons; bureaucratic incompetence is all but inevitable; and renewables exist

   i'm looking to harvest opinions and discussion to help figure out where i stand... please boost and leave your thoughts!

     @xyhhx I'm very much in favour of renewables but I think we'll need fission to meet baseload until an alternative can be made practical.

     @lopta @xyhhx And the world will never de-nuclearize. That genie cannot be put back into the bottle.
