Nuclear is coming

The solution to climate change will not be resolved without including nuclear and both sides of the issue see this as an impediment to their approach. The wind and solar people see this as away to solve the problem without involving social change and they don't want this. The fossil fuel industry sees this as a way to put them out of business. Both sides will obfuscate around the issue of safety. They will continue the misinformation about nuclear safety when in fact there are 94 nuclear reactors that have been operating in the US since 1958 and not one person has been injured or killed because of nuke power. Nuclear power is many times safer than coal, oil and natural gas. When you take into account the damage to the environment caused by mining rare earth metal, nuclear is safer than wind and solar. Nuclear is coming whether they want it or not but they will fight to the end. The big oil companies are making large profits and if they were future looking they would be investing in nuclear but in today's business world long term planning is not an option. All that matters is the next quarterly dividend.
