  Hm… risk of nuclear disaster? Or more expense? Hm… I’ll have to think about this one.

    Your logic is fallacious: the solution is not to build a nuclear reactor but seek an alternative.

      Yes I understand. It was a cheeky reply. But alternatives are actually limited if you consider all the benefits of nuclear: high energy output, limited land use, no dependence on weather or time of day, no massive subsidy to Chinese manufacturing, no carbon, all resources mineable in the US, waste all physically contained…

      Got alternatives to that?

        The best alternative is probably a diversified system of sustainable energy sources, along with batteries.

    Hm… invest into your companies cybersecurity before or after you get hacked?

    Companies don’t care enough about risks if they are not forced to comply.
