Because the next dictator could decide to go ahead with blowing up your N-plant. Then where the fuck are you?

Every other source of power generation can be neutralized as well

Who is talking about neutralization? It's a nuclear bomb in your backyard.

Creating a nuclear disaster in another country is the same as dropping a nuclear bomb. Considering Russia has plenty of them, not having nuclear energy doesn't prevent this type of disaster but certainly hamstrings your ability to produce clean energy.

Your logic is an example of how mind fucked you are.
Nuclear fission = bad. It needs to stop.

Excellent rebuttal

There is nothing clean about nuclear fission. You cannot ignore the waste, which no one has figured out how to deal with it. It's piling up in tons with no solution.

Nuclear waste is much easier to deal with than carbon waste, actually. There's just so much carbon waste and it goes up in the air.

Do tell. I'm looking forward to learning how you would deal with nuclear waste.
snowfoxsean t1_j0x2ygy wrote
The most obvious way is to bury it deep underground. The next best way is just to store it for now. Either way it's not that big of a deal to manage, because there just isn't that much of it.
