Let's unpack this one (declaration - I worked at a nuclear power facility, as an engineer). - we would need over 15,000 new nuclear reactors to power the world - these reactors cost over $20 billion to build, EACH - there is still no safe way to dispose of nuclear waste, and there would be mountains more of it with 15,000+ new reactors - a major nuclear accident happens every 14,000 reactor-years of operation. With more than 15,000 new reactors, you would expect a major nuclear incident every month of the year - reserves of viable uranium would run out in under 5 years, with this many reactors - nuclear reactors use large amounts of rare minerals, building them would quickly exhaust world supply, and - it takes more than a decade to build even one nuclear reactor. Like Trump blabbering on about electric cars last week, let's no longer vote for imbeciles who turn practical problems of engineering into debating points for morons on social media.
