Fun fact: environmentalist groups that were targeting nuclear energy received money from big oil. They were in direct competition.

Nukes can't compete because they suffer from economies of scale. If there was more nuclear, it would be cheaper per unit built/operated. The world took a wrong turn here. Nuclear is a better source if one goes by facts not emotions.

i'm sure we'll start to do it again after the people that can profit on fracing are finished profiting on fracing

Germany shut down all of their nuclear reactors because of environmentalists but it seems the environmentalists were paid by Russia, now Germany is reliant on fossil fuels from Russia and other countries.

They're trying to do the same for France but France has 80% of its energy from nuclear power.

Right. That's what they said before 1980 at TMI because all that was caused by emotions, not facts, same as in Chernobyl.
