Yeah, also you have to keep mining and enriching uranium or thorium to keep them running. At least with renewables most of the materials are recyclable so you only have to mine once. Nuclear would have made a great stop gap between fossil fuels and renewables though.

    Yeah unfortunately nuclear doesn't make any sense anymore today. It's way too expensive and its not nearly as renewable as you'd think. 20-50 years ago? It should have been something huge.

    At this point solar is so cheap and easy almost everything else looks silly in comparison.
