Nukes are clean but defund oil and gas interests

Bowman seems unaware that commercial nuclear power plants don't require their fuel be enriched at all. I am writing this using electricity generated from 0.7-percent. Also, what I think he tried to say is "An accident anywhere is an accident everywhere", i.e., a typical government will take any possible excuse to shut down as many nuclear stations as it can without the lights going out, and an accident in one of them can serve very well.

The solution to that is not better nukes but better government: it should not get so much of its income from oil and natural gas taxation. If these things become more expensive as some predict, the government take may HAVE to diminish, but how nice it would be if they could be pried loose from that money before that.
