    This subsidy is barely leveling up the playing field between fossil fuels and nuclear… Not a single nuclear plant that was shut down in the US was replaced by renewables.

    Nobody cares about these points. Instead we care about getting away from power sources that threaten our future.

      So, you’re then saying that nuclear is somehow more threatening to our future than fossil energy is? Wow. Thanks for being clear where you stand I guess.

      Just for the record: fossil fuels not only change our planet’s climate, it also kills millions of people each year due to air pollution.
