    It really seems like people can’t get past the fact that while nuclear did have an unfair reputation, it’s just too late to make use of it.

    Like yeah, it sucks that people blocked it and we built tons of fossil fuel power instead, but now we just have a better option and we can give up that fight.

      Nuclear power and cognitive dissonance. That’s why people are still touting SMRs as the future, except they cost even more than traditional nuclear. Also, they don’t exist.
