With today's weakening of regulatory standards, I don't know how safe new fission plants could be. The guy in charge of it all (self-admittedly) doesn't really understand nuclear energy, and would be prone to misunderstanding the science presented by industry leaders, possibly to the detriment of safety.

I know, that's a whole pile of variables; but variables should be reduced when it comes to nuclear energy, IMO.

That said, I greatly favor nuclear over, you know, burning stuff, and I'd like to see it succeed alongside renewables.
