I genuinely don’t understand why nuclear energy isn’t being pushed like at all…

#2 has clearly “done their own research” which means listening to lies they’ve been fed by big oil company shills instead of actually doing their own research

For two reasons: 1) Trump-era Republicans deliberately tank anything that isn’t fossil fuels, and 2) getting a nuclear power plant built is amazingly difficult and expensive. So the industry needs legislative help to really get moving, but Republicans will never allow that help to get passed into law. It doesn’t help that most people are scared of the idea of a nuclear power plant being built near them

I feel like people should be getting better educated on the improvements since the Chernobyl era that scares everyone. The difficulty and cost of building a plant is a fair point though I didn’t think about that. Lots of people would most definitely be put off by such a large up front investment.
