>And none of that even takes into account how completely uncompetitive nuclear energy is in economic terms
Nuclear is extremely price competitive if you actually force carbon producing power generation methods to pay to clean up the pollution they emit. Which is something we require of nuclear but for some reason not any other.
> long-term storage of radioactive waste still lacks a proper solution despite decades of work.
This is both a solved problem and also a non-problem. Advanced nuclear reactor designs have effectively zero waste.
> It's a dead technology, and the time has come to stop wasting resources on trying to make it work when those could be used much more productively to accelerate the move towards renewables
It's not dead?
