Immediately negative comments every time nuclear is brought up on HN.
I just want to say two things:
Nuclear power has been incredibly advantageous for Sweden. Sweden was an early adopter and it worked out well for us. Average time to build a reactor here is less than a decade. Swedes are great at building large scale energy infrastructure.
Wind and solar are not very suitable here. The wind is too intermittent, and we are too far away from the equator for solar.
