I’m a nukehead. I want nuclear cargo ships, I want coal factories to be retrofitted with SMRs, I want nuclear airplanes, I want nuclear rocket engines and nuclear bomb propelled rockets, I want nuclear synfuel and nuclear hydrogen and nuclear desalination. The only thing I’m not sold on yet is doing excavation with nuclear explosions.
But to be realistic, I’m mostly just against the environmentalist demonization of nuclear energy. We need more nuclear energy than we have right now, but it’s ahistorical to advocate for a fully nuclear economy in the era of renewable energy. Something like China’s clean energy mix seems pretty reasonable.
