Absofuckinlutely. Every policy the world has followed regarding nuclear power has relied on a distinctly fragile premise: that no insane person would get near it. Time to get over that now.

Today would be a very good day to stop the construction of new nuclear power plants and move to decommission nuclear power plants throughout the world.

More troublesome than an insane person, we are an insane society. We have lost our fear of nuclear war.

Oil and natural gas pipelines are just as easy to blow to smithereens, and doing so would have arguably a worse environmental/societal effect.

But how would we power the planet, with current technology, without burning more fossil fuels? Renewables are a great thing, but implementation isn’t possible on a global scale right now…

Replying to @marwilliamson @GunnelsWarren
Hard disagree, nuclear energy is absolutely essential for getting us off of fossil fuels and addressing climate change. A super majority of climate scientists support nuclear energy too.

I really don't agree with you on this. Nuclear Power's reliability and lack of carbon are overwhelming advantages. Shut down the last nuclear plant only after every fossil fuel power station is gone. Nuclear is going to be essential during the transition to green.
