As a supporter of the claim, ‘in the long run, more nuclear power generation is a good thing’, my best argument for why to not build nuclear power plants now is that I think we’d be better of first investing (a lot!) in more research on safety, reliability, efficiency. Commit to building beginning in 10 years after spending about 2 trillion dollars a year for those 10 years on research.
