>We could have been 100% nuclear decades ago but it was the greens who shut down building of all new nuclear plants.

That's pure misinformation.

Nuclear basically isn't scalable beyond 1 TW globally. Geothermal energy alone has twice that potential. Nuclear is pretty much a dead end as far terrestial utility-scale use is concerned.

Blaming "[political group you don't like]" for the issues inherent to the technology isn't going to solve anything.
