Nuclear is the safest energy. It has the fewest deaths per kWh produced. Some modern reactors are able to consume nuclear waste to generate fuel as well. If you want to minimize nuclear waste, we need to build at least some reactors to shove existing waste into.

Nuclear keeps our already unsafe grid more unsafe. It’s too expensive and accidents, while rare, are disastrous. Nuclear is dead.

WTF are you talking about. You can't just claim it's unsafe and it makes the grid unsafe. Nuclear is INCREDIBLY SAFE. Other than a few disasters that happened decades ago it has the lowest deaths/kwh. And it won't help contribute to the BILLIONS of deaths that are coming due to climate change. Your fear of some Chernobyl disaster is irrational.

I'm talking about grid security. https://www.tripwire.com/state-of-security/problem-us-power-grid-its-too-vulnerable-attacks

The solution is decentralization, which for the most part is solar and wind. Ironic that you are learning about this on a decentralized social media platform.
