Sounds like we should help make nuclear cheaper and more popular. No high carbon gas needed.

That would be great. Episode 3 of Netflix's documentary on Bill Gates [0] that gets into his efforts to develop and deploy new reactor tech. While it only presents a small piece of the picture, it at least touches on the political climate surrounding nuclear energy. Worth a watch.

But the climate activists strongly oppose nuclear every chance they get.

The problem is not climate activists, the problem is NIMBY.

I'm a "climate activist" and know plenty of others and they are by far the staunchest supporters of nuclear that I know.
