There is a kind of comedy to wide-scale opposition to nuclear energy defining a generation fearful of weapons and unsafe disposal, with decades of lobbying and propaganda to recuperate nuclear energy's reputation finally being successful across multiple political ideologies only for the technology to get financially curb-stomped by solar and wind. The anti-nuclear people won in perhaps the most hilarious way possible.
