Nuclear? WTF you gonna do with the waste? what you gonna do when the power does a Fukushima and backups don't work?? GE did us NO favors when their Mark 1s are aged badly and we are finding out what gamma rads do to structures after 40 years.. Much prefer Tesla energy sources...
Oh, but I have... I was redpilled about Fukushima in 2012 about how cost cutting measures were taken to lower the facility so pumps wouldn't have to be so big, that it was built over an underground river (which is now keeping the 3 corium cool) and a sea wall built too low to protect from a likely large EQ-the backup gens were placed below ground level and when they flooded from the tsunami, the plant and the planet were doomed... Subduction is the ONLY solution..
The amount of energy you can get out of nuclear power is insane. I had a chemistry teacher in high school that was very pro nuclear energy. He said while it was true that the waste would not break down for a very long term, you get a ton of energy out of a very small amount of waste. And we can dump the waste in the middle of the desert somewhere. Or fly it into space. I don't really care. Humans only inhabit less than 10% of the earth. I'm sure we can find somewhere to put it lol
But to be clear, I like the idea of diversifying energy. We shouldn't put all of our eggs in any one energy basket. So coal, natural gas, nuclear, wind, solar, etc. should all be used.
Fukushima was/is a warning-when shit happens with nuke energy it affects the world.. There are no safe spaces to store the 1,000s of ton of waste because to get it from point A to storage means rail or highway-shit happens even worse there..
Sounds an awful lot like 50s dream machine adverts for nuclear energy.. You are sadly behind any and all reality regarding nuclear water boiler reactors. The fuel rods have only so much reactive power before they need changed and then they need to be cooled down for quite some time. the water gets enriched in tritium and cannot be purified, the fuel rod waste needs to be stored on site until there is a national repository established for depleted uranium products. There is no truly safe transportation method.
The most important factor is the huge amount of gamma radiation affecting the containment infrastructure. It acts as a slow reduction of molecular adhesion in iron and concrete and many reactors are operating way beyond their lifespans and it shows up in serious cracking in concrete and steel components.

You need to do some research on this subject.

Fukushima was a tsunami, gtfo with your bs
YES, it WAS a tsunami, I was just pointing out GE cheating the customer and the weaknesses of the facility WERE overwhelmed by the TSUNAMI...
You know nuclear produces almost no waste? It actually heats up water. Which even that itself can then be recycled.
