What are folks thoughts on nuclear power? I have heard there are many detractors. Before getting into consulting, I was trained to operate a nuclear power plant on a submarine and learned about this excellent source of energy.

The main issues I see with it are the initial upfront costs to setup (with the cheapest generation costs thereafter), and disposal of nuclear waste (which some new technologies are being developed to reuse the waste in a different kind of reactor).

Big fan. Just put them in the middle of nowhere to mitigate safety risk while getting reliable, yet relatively clean energy! If you’re concerned about nukes/meltdowns, use Thorium reactors.

More nuclear power plants

Huge fan. They are, by far, the most logical source of clean energy that we should pursue. Wind and solar are ok but not really energy dense and very unreliable (case in point California). Not to mention the massive damage that acres of metal transmission lines and giant spinning steel blades does to flora and fauna. One of the biggest policy failures of the past decades has been the phasing out of nuclear energy.

Also look up nuclear fusion. Super exciting stuff that we should be pouring way more resources into.

Yeah, unfortunately nuclear plants are so insanely expensive that it might just be better to just invest the money in creating more efficient renewables.

I’m a fan, particularly of the new plants that are better prepared. Need better waste disposal plans before we heavily pursue.

Good with scaling up nuclear. The lever we should pull quickest is coal to natural gas (which is what we have been doing for decades now). It puts us in a good position as it has bought time to think thru nuclear and renewables. And scale those at a sustainable rate.
