Ya nobody disagrees, my only point is republicans are not pro nuclear and the only reason they invoke it is to pretend it's actually the liberals holding nuclear back.
Republican policy around nuclear is actually more hostile to nuclear energy.
The dinosaurs were Republicans? I can see why you've "never lost an argument" because everyone else eventually gives up trying to argue with a fricking mongoloid. Good showing.

It doesn't get any real support from either party, but the Democratic party has historically opposed nuclear energy, including cancelling the breeder program. They've only recently changed position on it in the last two years.
Outside of even repub policy the only reason rightoids give a shit about nuclear is cuz they think its a way to act like theyre above leftoids when it comes to renewables. If their dreams of no more green energy came to pass theyd double down on how great oil is rather than ever suggest build a new nuke plant.
No, for a lot of people it's because intermittent renewables suck butt and nuclear energy actually works.
France built out a huge reactor fleet for energy independence in the late 70's. They didn't even care about air pollution or CO2.
Germany built out wind & solar to 'go green' and their grid is super expensive, they're dependent on Russian gas to back it up, and their average emissions are still super high.
The only countries that are even remotely low in lifecycle CO2 emissions are countries with a shitload of hydro and/or nuclear. (Or Iceland w/ geothermal, or a couple countries with a shitload of hydro that can use it as a massive battery w/ some wind or solar in geographically ideal locations).

I agree that argument is dumb because both republicans and democrats are beholden to the same corpoate interests, in this case fossil fuel companies

As a demographic Republican voters have been historically been less hostile towards nuclear energy. Even as recent as 2019:

fossil fuels are why nuclear is not cost competitive.

Republican voters but republican policy is more hostile, just not in a direct way.

Republicans are more hostile in that cheap gas/other fossil fuels are the primary threat to nuclear energy.
Like I also disagree with the few years thing.

I'm not saying either party is fully pro nuclear, but the clinton/obama wing has been pretty pro nuclear for a while.

450 million isn't much in the grand scheme of things.
As far as subsidies are concerned, nuclear gets fricked.

Yes, it does, and I wonder which lobbies have sucked up all of the subsidy money.
That's interesting chart tho.

Germany's doing surprisingly well today.
