Nuclear isn't perfect, but it is the best we have right now. - Lemmy.World

I would rather see more investment on better renewable tech then relaying on biohazard.

You would be surprised to know the amount of scientific research with actual solutions that arenโ€™t applied cause goes against the fossil fuel companies and whatnot. Due to the fact that they have market monopoly.

Nuclear is the best and most sustainable energy production long term. You get left with nuclear waste which we are still figuring out how to deal with, but contemporary reactors are getting safer and more efficient. Not to mention breeder reactors can use the byproducts of their energy production to further produce energy.
I mean renewables are just cheaperโ€ฆ
And donโ€™t produce enough energy?

What are you talking about? In 2023, solar power alone generated 1,631 terawatt-hours (TWh) of electricity. Twice as much as was generated by coal, and more than half as much as was generated by nuclear. Solar plus wind out performed nuclear by hundreds of gigawatts.

The only thing holding back renewable power is grid level energy storage, and thatโ€™s evolving rapidly.
