Kiwi here, wish we would drop the stupid non nuclear stance. I agree that nuclear weapons are bad, but they arent going away.

We get no benefit from this stance except to take the moral high ground, to the detriment of our alliances.

Better to be able to use nuclear power if we so choose, especially in the face of fighting climate change.

We can use nuclear power... Land based reactors are not banned. There were even proposals once upon a time for some nuclear plants somewhere around Auckland, and we had a research reactor in Christchurch I believe.

We don't need nuclear energy to get to 100% renewable. Geothermal investment in the TVZ would eliminate our need to fossil power
