Ok, nuclear is a strategic missile target. It's harder to take out renewables and batteries because they are more distributed.


Nuclear could be more distributed too.

The obstacles for small nuclear reactors have not been technical, but the fear that they may be more easily misused.

There are good arguments against nuclear, but not being more distributed is not one of them.


No I am not against that. I'm just against any medium-to-large to large nuclear reactor built in within striking distance of a credible foe. Which is to say, at this point in time, all of them.

But if we start producing Fallout style reactors everywhere, sure, why not.
