Nuclear is easily our best source of energy

Agreed. It's ridiculous at this point that they would rather burn fossil fuels and rely on "green energy" that has a larger physical footprint on the landscape than the former options. They are also underestimating the waste impact of solar cells and wind turbines. In 20 years they'll be a sizable impact on overall waste production.

We need small modular reactors that are meltdown proof that can be mass produced.

Fukashima
This one is STILL going on. Leaking into the Pacific Ocean in amounts detectable off the West Coast at least as far south as NORCAL. Airborne detection as far east as the Continental Divide still.

We are fricked solely because the public is ignorant as frick and doesnt understand that newer reactor designs dont have the same flaws that allowed for meltdowns at places like Fukishima.


And Fukishima wouldn't have happened if they would have stored their emergency generators above grade. The flooding itself had no effect on the plant - only the backup generators.
