  • How about we regulate all the other power sources as heavily as we regulate nuclear?

    This is an extremely unfair comparison, because nuclear has to do things (Even leaving aside the Nuclear part of it) that no other energy source does.

    You know any coal supply chains that have to track each atom that they ever dig up?

    And even leaving aside cost, what about other benefits?

  • It's not significantly more expensive though. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cost_of_electricity_by_source

    And even if it was, it has other benefits.

    Like using significantly less land, and being safer.

    It can also work as a source of heat for district heating or various industrial processes, and since the plants themselves have no emissions, they can be reasonably placed in cities for this purpose without harming people. Using heat directly is more efficient than converting it to and from electricity.

    Nuclear has it's place.
