    Idk that it’s better than renewables, I’d say they’re complimentary. And I’m not sure we’d need new big multi-million new ones, newer models can be much smaller, cheaper, and modular. But places like Germany shutting down perfectly functional nuclear plants drives me nuts, just ups the coal and gas usage.
