Tbf it's starting to be too late, even if they were pro nuclear it's going to take like 20 years

Better start now than wait then.

Yes pouring down money on a technology, that at best can help us mitigate emissions in 20 years, instead of investing it in a scaleable and cheaper technology now (wind, solar) is a great and reasonable strategy...

And that is entirely ignoring the debate abou the safety and waste issue of nuclear power.
