You have to ask, is the goal to reduce emissions, increase energy security & tackle air pollution, or is it just ideology?

Climate change is a clear and present danger of global scale with a wide range of damaging impacts on geologic time scales. Small volumes of spent nuclear fuel can be contained safely in dry cask storage for century+ time scales. Let's focus on the former not the latter for now. Cool? Cool. 🔌💡
