It sounds like one of Godzilla's friends, doesn't it?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorgon_gas_project

Chevron and Shell and all the other fossil fuel mega-giants will be happy to make hydrogen for your car, and fuel your gas turbine power plants, adding more carbon dioxide to the earth's atmosphere until the oceans rise and the natural environment that supports our civilization collapses. Can a few nuclear power plant accidents do that?

I think most anti-nuclear activism is just another flavor of climate change denial.

A civilization that has banned fossil fuels, either by embracing nuclear power, or by rejecting most heavy industry (automobiles, airlines, container shipping, skyscrapers, the whole lot of it...) would look nothing like the civilization we enjoy now.

But we are probably beyond choice now. This fossil-fueled civilization will press on until death overtakes it.
