Nuclear also has its flaws. The US government is surpressing the amount of radiation actually being leaked by the aging US power plants.
We said in the US that we are too transparent to have a Chernobyl, but that was before we had the modern FBI.
I think it's something we need to work on, because it's incredibly helpful if done right, but it's not without consequence. Especially when you have woke police and corrupt politicians degrading the standards of even the most important infrastructure.
Nuclear's biggest downsides is the waste and threat of meltdown. Both these issues go away when we start using thorium reactors instead of uranium. Yes thorium technology isn't perfect and has a way to go. But it's a viable clean option and has more benefits vs other so called clean options.
With how we know society is run, you really want to avoid having a part of the "public" infrastructure built in such a way that it becomes dangerous with underutilization.
Humans are really really good at fucking things up. Success through failure is how humans work. Best design infrastructure to fail in non-devastating ways.
This is how modern nuclear plants are built, but they still have serious maintence issues that can be papered over to make for dangerous circumstances.
