Nuclear power is the best and safest we have (aside from alt science/free energy stuff). Modern coal plants have good scrubbers, as well. We actually need a lot more nuclear plants. Maybe in the current year with the supply chain issues, it would be problematic, but back in the day, plants would create amazing jobs for an entire town. And somehow they had the intelligence and abilities to deal with supply chains.

With more nuclear plants we would have had much cheaper and reliable energy and a great job market providing for families, but environmental globalists had to shut down the industry. The stuff that was destroyed is a tragedy.

I think the issue you have experienced sound like more of the bureaucracy and govt and corporate corruption surrounding it. I've seen the same issues with gas corporations.
