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?
proliferation of the technology for enrichment is proliferation for the technology for enrichment.
It makes it harder to prevent developing material suitable for bombs.
Also note that in all current designs of reactor the spent fuel is quite suitable for weapons of terror.
