@EUCommission Yes, outstanding. Now please realize that nuclear is neither clean (toxic waste) nor independent (very problematic sources of uranium).

@EUCommission I really appreciate the feedback and the info. Small question: you point the problematic sourcing of uranium and suggest a closed fuel cycle by upcycling nuclear waste. While this might also solve the waste problem, is this approach even remotely commercially viable?
