5. I've been advocating for nuclear energy ever since the outcome of the Chernobyl event became...

...clear to me, as it represents, unambiguously, the "worst case" of a reactor failure.

In 2023, with the reality of the planetary scale consequences of climate change clearly before us, the world is clearly redefining what "dangerous" and "expensive" means.

We still have dunderheads who don't get it at all. I've heard, for example, morons carry on, for example, about the "cost" of the Vogtle reactors, a case of arsonists complaining about forest fires, since these same morons have worked throughout their far less than useful lives to destroy nuclear manufacturing infrastructure.

Nevertheless, that infrastructure is being rebuilt under "build back better," and in some cases, being built for a new set of flexible mission reactors.

Probably it comes under the heading of "too little, too late," but it still remains the best shot, really the only shot, we have to save what can be saved, and restore what can be restored.

It is definitely true that all over the world, opposition to nuclear energy, which I interpret as enthusiasm for climate change, is declining, rapidly so.
