Funny how nuclear power plants are taboo, but building thousands of nuclear warheads all over the globe is no issue.

Funny how building nuclear power plants that can only (if you have dipshits running them) kill a nearby city is taboo, but climate change that will kill everyone is acceptable to the moralists.

Funny how solar, wind, and batteries are way cheaper and faster to build yet people are still talking about nuclear.

Stopping nuclear from being built is the problem.

We would have had a lot more clean energy than we do by now if we let the nuclear power plants that "would take too long to build!" be built back then, because they'd be up and running by now.

More letting perfect be the enemy of good.
