CH I support the theory of fission power and how its safe operation provides boatloads of clean energy. However the political games both sides of the issue play make it impossible for mass deployment ala france.

Things are not suddenly going to change for fission politics. NIMBY is EVERYWHERE. Requests for land will be at once attacked with multiple lawsuits and demands of extremely lengthy environmental studies that are disputed time and again. And even if they get the land for some reason costs keep rising unexpectedly. To the point where investigations are being started...

All and all its a nogo in my opinion. Fusion stands a much better chance but for now I am focusing on fuel and waste level issues.
