Put them in more appropriate places (not like everything has to be nuclear) and don’t act like the USSR.

Nuclear is a very valuable component of a mixed energy structure. There are absolutely use cases for it and we should not avoid it.

They need cooling water, so "on the coast" is a reasonable location. Or do you mean "not in Japan"? A country without many great options for clean energy generation. Frankly Japan is one of the places nuclear makes sense to me. There's not many options.

It doesn't make sense to me in the US where there's a sunshine belt across the country 5 timezones long, large windswept plains and shallow coastlines. The US is rich in options and nuclear falls down the list.

You know, the world is larger than Japan and the US
