Nuclear power isn't really economically feasible in the mega long term time horizon needed for a utility to recoup billions of dollars to build one in the US. Not unless they get way cheaper to build, a large part of which generally means loosening regulation. And most people/politicians are usually in favor of regulations for nuclear power.

financially racist posted:

short term, nuclear is like the only way we can possibly avoid massive catastrophes related to climate change

long term, renewables are better, but they aren't there yet

it does not matter because the misinformed are terrified of nuclear, and most people are misinformed about most things (see also: fear of gmos, fear of vaccines, president trump happening)

we are gonna piss our planet down our legs because three reactors out of the tens of thousands around the world melted down

Someone said this above but there literally is no 'short term' for nuclear power in the US. Some benevolent dictator could take control tomorrow and decree that we are going to build 300GW of nuclear capacity and it wouldn't begin to make an impact until like maybe 2030.
