Better than coal or oil, it might even result in more R&D into reactor designs.
There’s no shortage of modern reactor designs. We have amazing stuff designed and even prototyped and proven - low waste, safely-failing reactors that basically can’t melt down. All we really lack is funding and regulatory clearance to build more.

This is part of their plan to reduce carbon emissions.
This is what corporations mean when they say "reduce carbon emissions"
You say that like it's a bad thing
