Guys. Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell. Every cell has its own power house where it stores up the molecules needed to generate ATP on the spot. Our body does this because that's very stable! Society should do it too. It's called batteries.

A case of the quiet part being spoken outloud. That's my beef with nuclear energy as well - why? Solar power clearly work, and best of all, it isn't centralized. Same with wind power. It even works in circumstances you might have to shut down nuclear power plants due to excessive heat. You even have to worry about the increasing load on the grid because they are easier to distribute. It needs energy storage, and there's no shortage of means for energy storage.

Nuclear power plants are going to be charging you the same as coal plants for energy as long as they are owned by market tycoons. Nuclear power plants make the best sense in an ideal world where society matters and there aren't people gaming the market. We do not live in an ideal world.

With the economic damage resulting from covid lockdowns, you’d think this “somebody think of the stock market” narrative would go away.

The economy is something everyone relies on, not just rich people.

Covid was great for rich people though, all the richest people got so much richer during covid.
