Fusion is cool and slick. If I were to go to gradschool for physics, I'd specialize in plasma physics.

Yes. It's literally the safest bet if we decide to try and get rid of fossil fuels. We've learned from the mistakes of the past, and even Chernobyl was an exercise in stupidity from top to bottom (meaning; largely human error and those conditions would NEVER be met again today).

Yeah. We need to be weaned off fossil fuels.

We just can't do stupid things like cut corners(Which some companies will inevitably try to do).

If more climate change people genuinely supported cleaner energy instead of just socializing our economy more then more of them would support nuclear energy.

The reactor design isn't used outside of Russia anymore (and only three reactors are still operational), and was recognized as pretty damn terrible even during the Soviet era.
