And their vote counts more than yours because they live in rural districts with lower populations. Smh at "democracy."

Honestly? Yeah. Well if I didn’t already have my house fully off grid.

Being in proximity to a nuclear power source would help ensure minimal power outages compared to fossil fuels.

So if I had to choose? Yes. However, I took things into my own hands and have a 36kW solar system with 100kWh battery bank powering my property.

YMMV

    Aren't those plants noisy? It's a industrial installation. Don't you have constant traffic and noise there? Where I live we don't have nuclear power plants so I don't know. We have this type of plants:

    I would definitely prefer solar or wind farms.
