I'm sorry I missed this earlier because I wish Sam could see this comment.
Nuclear energy is inherently centralized and difficult to decentralize. This creates all sorts of political and economic dynamics, some of which you (Sam, and YC) may benefit from, but some of which may be damaging to societies in various ways (think corruption, control, monopolies, etc.)
Obviously this isn't necessarily true for all possible as-yet-unimagined implementations of nuclear technology. But it's something to think about when comparing energy technologies.
Solar, on the other hand, while not necessarily inherently decentralized, is extremely decentralizable, leading to very different dynamics.
I'm not saying Nuclear is bad. I'm just saying this stuff should be factored in.
