I am interested in hearing your opinions about nuclear power, what you know, if you have any fears, or ideas? Do you know if your country has any nuclear power generation?

    Safety issues aside, I don’t like the power grid topology they create—where power is distributed radially from a single centralized source. Systems like that are fragile and inflexible, with a single point of failure; and they promote similar institutions to control them.

    Networks are more robust when they’re distributed and redundant, with lots of local interconnected sources. Solar and wind are a lot more amenable to that kind of structure.

      This is a good point. While I still think it would be smart to invest more in nuclear, the future is solar and that’s a good thing.
