Nuclear Power is the Answer to Global and Environmental Energy Woes
(nationalinterest.org)
A community discussing nuclear power, including fission and fusion. The goal is to talk about generated nuclear power, so avoid simply talking about stars or something unless it is relevant.
I'm all for using every available source of alternative energy. Nuclear and renewables complement each other well, and we should be using all the tools available to us to move off using fossils as fast as possible.
Regarding the safety of nuclear, I find a lot of the fears tend to come from lack of knowledge regarding what the actual risks are. If you look into the details of how nuclear production works, you'll see that it's one of the safer methods of energy production. For example, this is a good explanation of what happens with nuclear waste.
