I find it hard to understand why there&#x27;s still support for nuclear power, particularly given its historical context of not being a very successful industry at all.<p>* It&#x27;s more expensive than the alternatives, including wind and solar now.<p>* Its failure modes have so much more potential to be catastrophic.<p>* The industry has a terrible record of cheating on nuclear waste disposal. Much of it is dumped at sea in secret because the cost of legitimate disposal is so expensive it would make the industry commercially unviable.<p>* Human error is common and impossible to eliminate. The nuclear industry is somewhere the human factor has been historically disastrous and it doesn&#x27;t seem likely that will change.<p>There&#x27;s really not a lot to like about the nuclear power industry. Can anyone explain why we shouldn&#x27;t just leave this method of power generation behind as a tragic mistake?
