All the people arguing for nuclear, are you sure Texas is best place to handle that? I'm fine with nuclear as long as they have a reasonable plan to store the waste, but Texas is horrible at managing anything energy related.

Tbh, I think America in general might be a little too obsessed with personal freedom for us to transfer the entire country over to nuclear energy.

Successful nuclear programs require actual collective work for long term viability. We would need to actually give administrative powers to an agency like the nuclear regulation commission that supercedes the authority of individual states.

Otherwise its just going to be like 30 years of ironing out NIMBY state legislation before anything gets built, just like the deep storage facility we've been "building" since the 80s.

You know what the plan to store a lot of nuclear waste in America is? Bury it in west nowhere, Texas.

Sad thing is they have so much land for it! Could get around how so many people are concerned about living near a nuclear power plant, by just putting it in bum fuck nowhere.

We already have that, it's called Yucca Mountain - and people STILL are fighting it.
