Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Kim. There are many issues to track. It’s hard to know what is driving what… But we can follow the money… :/

Humans do not have the wisdom to safely use concentrated nuclear power. So long as we do not have peace on earth, we lack the capacity to safely generate and use nuclear energy, and safely dispose of nuclear forever waste. The push for more energy consuming industries, like AI, data centers and water polluting industries like fracking (creating pressure for desalination) are designed to create an extreme demand for energy and an excuse for nuclear energy proliferation. Further all nuclear energy can be weaponized. The pursuit of nuclear energy proliferation is insanity.
