Climate activists are usually very against nuclear energy and I don’t think I understand why. Does anyone know?

Arguments I’m somewhat familiar with:

  • sometimes it’s used as a cover for developing nuclear weapons
  • nuclear waste is very bad for living things.

What are the main historical moral arguments?

    There are hundreds if not thousands of old abandoned uranium mines in Utah and the other nearby desert states I’d imagine most could still produce if there was demand.

    Hopefully we wouldn’t just dump the nuclear waste on Reservation land like last time tho…
