The question was whether or not I support it, which I do, and how our anti-nuclear stance is outdated. There have been 2 major IAEA described incidents involving Nuclear Power - one from a dangerously designed & improperly used Soviet reactor, and one from a large natural disaster that disabled all cooling & back up cooling at Fukushima. I won’t downplay their severity - but the risks of Nuclear Power incidents are still incredibly low, and decreasing further. Needless to add, are the many hydroelectric dam failures that have resulted in thousands of deaths, and billions in damages likewise. New Zealand certainly doesn’t need Nuclear Power yet, nor should it divert investment away from renewables. But Nuclear Power absolutely should be a credible option as our population and infrastructural needs grow over the next decades. I would agree that the wastage of
Nuclear Power is a strong consideration, but (in my opinion) I’d rather deal with long half-lives of wastage, then a climate that’s quickly ruining from a human population that is only increasing, especially as someone in their twenties.
