You’ve been hoodwinked by the fossil fuel industry lobby that has also misled entire movements (the greens) to be sympathetic when originally they were the reverse. They’ve lobbied for draconian regulations and making the political and economic costs be too high for self preservation. You know like every entrenched industry in America.
My information is coming from Australia, where nuclear energy was heavily pushed by the fossil fuel industry (mainly because it would take like 30+ years for the first power plant to be in operation allowing them to expand coal and gas power plants in the meantime.) even though several reports where made debunking these claims and showing how horrible of an idea it would be to build nuclear energy for so many reasons including it’s incredibly high price tag (these same documents showed how renewable energy is generally the cheapest.)

Maybe this is only the case in Australia.
