I’m sorry, but nuclear in the US is not a clean energy source in the literal sense of the term.
Exelon still hasn’t added the Fukushima safeguards to its US plants despite the government instructing them to do so after the meltdown.
An Exelon plant in Illinois has been leaking radioactive material into the nearby area for years. They just pay the multi-million dollar fine instead of actually fixing the problem. The water levels have higher radioactive material levels than what is safe according to the EPA in both Illinois and Pennsylvania.
Until we can get these corporations to not be greedy asshats and can find a way to dispose of or reuse the waste safely, nuclear isn’t as ~amazing~ as people want it to be.

You are wrong about not implementing Fukushima safeguards....I processed the material personally!
