As the title says, I’m interested in this community’s perceptions on nuclear energy.

    The question was whether or not nuclear is clean or green. To which my answer is “no”, but “better than fossil fuels”. If we were to shut down all the nuclear power plants in the world today, much of the world would switch to burning more fossil fuels because in much of the world it’s still the most cheapest form of energy. Someone else in this thread already mentioned it, but fossil fuel energy facilities/sources should be decommissioned first before nuclear.
