  1. 4:20 The issue with nuclear, and base load electricity in general is that it discourages investment into both renewables and more importantly energy storage technology. Furthermore, when people say that nuclear is green, that only applies to existing nuclear power plants that has run a long time, as a majority of the climate coat has already been paid a long time ago with those. Actually building a new nuclear power plant is not green. And it's nonrenewable, so you're just kicking the bucket down the street... I don't think that closing the existing nuclear power plants where a good idea, the timing was off, and the replacement coal power was worse. But building new ones is definitely a bad idea. Instead work on actually regulating windmills so they're more durable and safe and less bothersome for people and animals nearby. Installed with less impact on their surroundings (roads etc). And with benefits for the local community like genuinely cheaper power etc...
