The future has already begun and it will not include nukes. At least not on earth.

    i mean you can say that, but they're literally being built everywhere

    No they're not. There are a few projects in the early planning stages. As far as I know, none of them has even broken ground yet.

    With 22 nuclear power reactors under construction, China is projected to become the world’s largest nuclear energy producer within a decade

    That's weird. Considering commercial scale nuclear power plants exist all over earth right now. And if the "future has already begun," then we are living in that future, and it does include "nukes" providing clean safe power to probably a billion people on earth. Too bad the fossil fuel industry knows that nuclear reactors are the only threat to their existence and has pumped anti-nuclear propaganda to the mainstream envrionmental movement for the past 50 years.

    Wake up, let's save our future.

    Most of the current nukes are old and nearing their end of life. The few ones that were built recently all wildly ran over schedule and budget. Saying that anti-nuclear sentiment is pushed by the fossil industry is breathtakingly ass-backwards. It's exactly the fossil lobby that has been pushing nukes lately as a smokescreen to delay the adoption of renewables.
