What are the moral arguments against nuclear energy? (hexbear.net)

Climate activists are usually very against nuclear energy and I don’t think I understand why. Does anyone know?

Arguments I’m somewhat familiar with:

  • sometimes it’s used as a cover for developing nuclear weapons
  • nuclear waste is very bad for living things.

What are the main historical moral arguments?

its all nonsense propaganda, that can all be rebred to produce more energy (and those fissile materials will decay rapidly), there is NO nuclear waste, that can all be fuel. they only want nuclear for weapons and only developed the infrastructure for weapons, so thats why they store the excess fissile material. the energy produced is just a side benefit to western governments.
