      Every time I post something favorable towards solar, people say "just do nuclear instead", so I should say that nuclear power is good too but it's slow to build and more expensive than solar and so it's not a good short term alternative, we need both

      What I find odd is people who lean right & centrist push nuclear despite fact that nuclear would involve huge amount of state funding (which they usually don't like).

          GOPers seem to love nuclear. Wyoming governor is eager to dump a shitload of money into some new plants. I see this as a feature, not a bug

          They have the mistaken belief that the only thing that makes nuclear uneconomical is the pesky government regulations

          It’s mostly financing. Stopping projects and making new plans kills any path to profitability. Every day you delay construction is another day of wasted labor hours and worse, more interest accruing on the debt.

          I mean I tend to think of it as a rhetorical dodge. "I don't think nuclear will get funded so I can always say "support nuclear instead" so it looks like I care".

          + largest safety/security bureaucracy in history. almost like it's a fear of change & being socialized in a certain political culture, also like fossil fuel ppl.

          They fundamentally think wind and solar are "unserious" energy sources, while nuclear isn't. Also there's still a pretty strong belief that the renewables are expensive and require significant public expenditures to make them viable. Even though theyre the cheapest out there atm

          But nuclear just is, wind and solar require energy storage tech that doesn't yet exist. Also nukes have the added benefit of desalination If we got serious and built multiple nukes at the same time of a set design (AP series most likely) it would lower cost and raise safety

          State funding to construction cartels that’s they control or benefit from. Solar is too efficient, too modular for effective anc easy skimming.

          That must be why they're dumping absurd amounts of money into solar and the huge manufacturing and mining industries it relies on.
