Curious on your opinion here, I think a lot of pro-nuclear voters are confused by the left. Here we have a solution that exceeds energy demands without the negative externalities of fossil fuels, but they won't support it. Is there something besides fear that's keeping them from embracing it?? It makes their stance on climate change seem hollow.

My dad went studied nuclear engineering in the 70's with the hopes that the power industry would take off. He said he was very liberal before this, but changed his views significantly after the left essentially shut the movement down. This issue has always fascinated me because of his experiences with it and how it is still such a topic of contention amongst people today. I wish we would start building nuclear so he could finally realize his dreams of participating in the projects.

What role did the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Act of 1978 have in suppressing the development of nuclear power as a viable option in America?

As a non-German speaker, could you TLDR that up for us?

Very interesting. Do you have a source on the power cost for silicon production used to make photovoltaic cells?
