People who oppose investing in nuclear who, in the same breath, claim climate change is the greatest existential threat to humanity, reveal just how seriously they take the climate threat. If we had an inbound asteroid headed to hit us and there were technologies we could deploy to mitigate it that had potentially large negative downsides there would be no hesitation. In this case, hand wringing over the threat of nuclear implies the threat of climate change is not being taken as seriously as one might think.
