Wait, I'm seeing a lot of people being very against nuclear. From what I've gathered, I see no downsides compared to fossil fuels

It may be too late for nuclear. Too much upfront cost, too long to build. Reneweables are cheaper in the long run, and with storage technologies getting better the problem with base load electricity gets smaller.

It is safe, nuclear, but why bother now.
