I am all for nuclear if it powers ambulances. I don’t want nuclear to power the tenth plastic-shit plant building the next thing nobody needs or a billion SUVs.

How is this different from Solar and Wind exactly? Wind and Solar can be used to power shitty consumer garbage factories just as easily as nuclear can?
