Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it’s actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that’s really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

    I generally agree with you, but I think a lot of people are concerned about the nuclear waste and not the power plants but don’t realize that.

      Nuclear power plants generate waste very slowly—slowly enough that we won’t be using fission any more by the time it becomes a serious problem. Fusion ignition was achieved recently, so it’s only a matter of time.

      However, nuclear power plants are also extremely expensive to build, which seriously limits their practical usefulness.
