-Nuclear power is unprofitable and needs life support from the government to survive. All of the worlds 200 nuclear plants have been built with government money because the private sector cannot afford to build one plant. And even less can the private sector afford insurance costs without government guarantees for building a plant, so no private sector company could handle building a nuclear plant on its own. The insurance costs in case a disaster happens must always fall on the tax payers because the private sector cannot afford to pay in full.
Furthermore are capitalists interested in big profits and quick profits. A nuclear plant is not much profitable at all. And you will not start to recover all the money that you have spend until 30 years or so after you started a project. And very few companies and rich people have that kind of economic muscles. And few also got the patience to wait so long, and especially when there are so many other more profitable things you can do for say 160 billion dollars than building a nuclear plant.
-Its unclean, and even in a best case scenarior you need to somehow store enriched uranium for more than 4 billion years - which means forever since this planet will likely not last more than 4 billion years.
-Nuclear power does also need ocean water for cooling the hot fuel. And when that water goes back into the ocean will the water be so hot that it creates massive algae bloom in the Baltic sea, and the algae consumes all oxygen in the water so all fish and maritime life dies.
- Nuclear power is also extremely dangerous. Only one nuclear disaster is enough to kill all life on the northern half of the planet. I think that is an unreasonable high price to pay for just a few years of energy. And after no more energy could be get from the uranium, we still need to store that hot nuclear fuel safely for eternity. And future generations will have to live with a dangerous bomb that can potentially kill off everyone of their generation. And they also have to spend money to take care of that fuel that our generation created. And they have to pay for the energy needed to provide that hot fuel with water pumps to cool it down - and that means that they cannot use that solar power or wind energy for their own needs, but instead have to spend it on cooling down hot nuclear fuel, so it doesn't get so hot that it melts through the metal container and leaks into nature and kill all life on earth.
Future generations will hate our generation and see us as selfish bastards. And they are correct.
- Nuclear power is also unsubstainable. There are only a limited amount of uranium on this planet. Just like there is only a limited amount of oil, coal, and natural gas. So we would start to run out of uranium a few decades from now, as peak uranium happens.
So it is just dumb to pain ourselves into a corner and walk into a dead end by investing in nuclear power. And if every country on the planet took the advice of replacing fossile fuels with nuclear power. Then of course would we be using much more uranium than we do now in a single year. So the world would quickly run out of uranium in just 4 years if we somehow managed to replace all coal, oil, and natural gas with nuclear power.
So of all types of energy sources that exist, I would say that nuclear power is the dumbest, dirtiest and most useless.
I even rather stick to fossile fuels. I worry more about another nuclear disaster than I worry about the fake crisis called "Global warming".
