I'm not against nuclear but I am against the old style reactors. You put in tens of billions into a single plant. The sunk cost fallacy is huge. People will cut corner because it means saving a billion here and there. We can't even update them. If the original design is flawed we'll have to keep running them.
It would be better if they were like cars or solar panels. Good for 20 years and then you replace them. With something as dangerous as nuclear the benefits of longevity are strongly outweighed by the downsides of keeping immature technology around.
To keep it short. Nuclear is not an attractive product. Change that.
