#2It's interesting how research into nuclear tech has resulted in one thing that can get us all killed and one thing that can save us all from being killed.

The author of the above article also wrote a book called “Apocalypse Never” that explores practical approaches to managing climate change and recently appeared on the Jordan Peterson podcast to talk about it, including the role of nuclear energy: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-jordan-b-peterson-...

#6We can't build reactors fast enough. And electricity is only a part of what generates emissions. It's no where close to a solution. Looking up the world's energy numbers, how much of total energy production and emissions are from electricity, how long it takes to build a nuclear power plant, how many nuclear power plants are built per year etc. will show you this.

China is gonna build 150 reactors in 15 years for 440 billion dollar. They lack the defeatist attitude common in the West and it shows.

#8It is a shame that I see a title like this and my first thoughts are “who is paying for this article to be published” - is it genuinely someone with the right answer or an agenda - I would need to read the article then try to understand the particular points of view, instead I’ll do something else

#10Realistically if we were going to go big on nuclear we needed to do so 30 years ago. In the UK at least, it takes decades for planning permission and more decades for design, build, commissioning, and finally entry of a reactor into operational service.
