The nuclear power fear mongering is promoted more by the Solar PV industry than coal or oil.
The truth is Solar POV is not as clean as people think, even people in the game admit that there are warehouses full of old / defective panels they have no idea how to recycle or process, and may never. Also making them is horrendously damaging for the planet, they aren't just sand based glass, they are full of rare heavy metals and other exotic chemistry.
A rapid solution is the best option, and in terms of developing capacity and then genuinely reducing emissions modern nuclear is so far ahead of the alternatives it's almost a joke to suggest anything else.
Fearmongers point to Three Mile Island, Chernobyl or Japan, but these are 1950s technology built in the 1960s, and 1960s tech built in the 70s.
Finally, opponents like to refer to Japan as a nuclear disaster, but so far it's nuclear fallout has hardly struck a blow, let's not forget Japan was a tsunami that killed nearly 20,000 people, but politically motivated it was renamed as the Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami so the anti-nuclear brigade could focus on Japan. Tohoku by the way is not inaccurate, but deliberately renaming the event was a deliberate choice not an accident. (Even the activists in IT also ensure Fu4ush1ma is renamed screwushima to paint it a certain way!)
Nothing online happens by accident, it's all the result of deliberate human actions, and the protagonists aren't all altruistic or innocent.
