Well the parent comment is simply arguing against nuclear, and given that no civilization before 1940 had to think about nuclear, it’s not a bad take...

Despite being somewhat of a subjective political position, Its not crazy to think late era Obama administration was more competent than Trump administration.

In the past, bad leader + nuclear = Chernobyl

So you completely missed his point, (s)he’s not saying “times are bad now”, they are saying “I see now that times are not good enough”

No civilization had to think about electric generation at all 60 years before that.

It's not, it's a fact. Obama's administration was absolutely more competent than Trump's.

Except I didn't. Even accounting for Trump's blip, times are more than good enough for new nuclear plants now.
