Hi, I'm a physicist who believes that nuclear power is the most realistic option of moving ourselves off fossil fuels, without the astronomical cost and untested technology that would be required in order to create a majority intermittent grid.
I do also have strong feelings about crypto, mostly about how much of a incredible waste of resources it is and how disgusting it is that the obvious scam nature of most of it hasnt been clamped down on by governments
If you're a physicist why are you stating what you "believe"? I would've thought facts and evidence would be more appealing than feels. Of course facts and evidence point to nuclear being a massive waste of everyone's money when far cheaper alternatives are now available. Maybe that's why?
Facts and theory can only tell you so much, eventually things need tested and there are a lot of factors going into a potential move t nuclear power
