Wow, some industry lobbyists got government funding, amazing.

Not just in the US, China too is building nuclear reactors faster than any other country

Global fossil fuel subsidies are at $7 trillion, so I guess those are really relevant to our future as well!

No of course not. The subsidies at this point at a crime against humanity.

I don’t want developing countries to waste their money on nuclear power when they can get much more cost effective renewables.

If the renewables are cost effective and provide stable power then I too want them to be priority -near zero risks-, but more importantly industry and business will seek them on their own. I just hold that nuclear power should be part of the mix. Take the UAE for example it is investing in both nuclear and solar.
