The real problem with nuclear as I understand it is what to do with the waste?
Also it sounds like the nuclear plants failed too.

Current nuclear plants have anywhere from 25 to 40 years worth of waste on their sites right now. And room for decades more. And you’d be amazed at how small a footprint that spent fuel covers.

It can be reprocessed, the French have been doing it for decades.

The nuclear technology has advanced miles since Three Mile Island. I think TMI was a first generation NP plant.
We are now at the third generation NP, Westinghouse is building them world-wide.
Research on Generation IV NP has been underway for several years now.
There are several promising designs that are being worked right now.
Even the dorking looking Bill Gates is in the NP act.
American are just now starting to wake up to the shallow prospects of 'green energy'.
A major event like this has gotten people to re-examine our short, mid, and long-term energy policies.
Commie-fornia governor Gavie Newsom(Nancy Pelosi's nephew) is most likely going to get recalled.
LNG(liquid natural gas) powered plants are the way to go in the foreseeable future.
This so-called 'green energy' has it place in some instances and a few places.
Nuclear power will be the power source for the future.
