As the title says, I’m interested in this community’s perceptions on nuclear energy.

    My objectionsn to nuclear are also similarly moral. I just have such a huge issue with an energy source that creates a waste that will be around for generations.

    Uranium mining has also created so many environmental disasters and is a risk to human health on that end.

    That being said, I also understand that batteries and solar require rare earth minerals which causes more mining and human rights violations.

      Yes.

      Even when taking waste and sourcing as not a big issue, if we take then out of the discussion, nuclear is not that great option.
