Public trust in governments and the private sector is at an all time low, all around the world. And that's an earned reputation.

Nuclear energy is a promising solution, but there are risks associated with it that cannot be ignored.

Can you trust a government that can't even feed it's poor and house them to properly dispose of all nuclear waste used at scale? I doubt it. Even if it's done right for a while, that handling will erode because everything in our system does. That's the problem.

The question isn't just efficacy of the technology. It's implementation. Execution. Maintenance. Long term sustainability.
