Highly centralized systems have always gone against my basically anarchist, emergent, bottom up approach I try to take to all things. At the same time, by the numbers, nuclear just makes more sense for the climate.
Solar or wind or hydro with battery, especially with the more modern batteries, fits both my general philosophy and the overall approach for the climate far better. It requires less technical skill (anyone here could install basic solar plus battery), its more modular, it allows for emergent systems; everything about it makes more sense.
If you believe we should make decisions collectively at the scale of a society, we shouldnt spend any money building nuclear at this point. And if you don’t believe we should make decisions collectively at the scale of a society, you probably already didn’t agree with the philosophy required to support nuclear.
The next generation of nuclear is supposed to be small, movable shipping container sized plants, could be great for small independent communities. Though they’re yet to be commercially demonstrated.
I shared an office building with nuScale. I"m not interested.
We have solar and wind. We have batteries, they are getting better every year, and now with sodium replacing lithium, storage and the associated risks are effectively solved. Don’t waste resources, our time, the environment, or peoples mental bandwidth on this.
We can and should transition towards fully decentralized non-centrally owned or managed systems.

Against. 20 years ago I would have been for.

Cool! Still a demonstrator plant, it looks like, but good to see it’s in commercial operation.
