Celebrities.
Is there anything they don’t know?
I laugh when these marginally-educated dimwits complain about the escalating costs of building reactos.
They don’t mention that many of the costs are incurred because slow-thinking celebrities help fund environmental lawsuits against the manufacturers, forcing them to incorporate inexpensive and unnecessary features into the reactor and support structures.
And then there’s the DECADES of delays while these lawsuits are settled.
If cost is their metric in opposing an energy source, then they should really, really, really be against things like solar PV, whose costs per kwhr dwarf those of nuclear. Not to mention very poor capacity factors and availability.
If subsidies are the metric for opposing an energy source, then these idiot clowns should really, really, really protest against things like so-called "renewable" energy. In my state alone, at one time (not sure if they still have it), if you installed certain kinds of "green" energy systems in your home, you could claim a tax credit that covers up to 50% of the cost of such a system. The government has spent billions on "renewables" and after all this time and money those are struggling to supply barely a fraction of a percent of our energy needs. If anything qualifies as a "failure", it's those things.
