I’ve mostly seen nuclear and GMO being promoted as a way to earn money by the promoter, their employer or their friends. Nuclear or GMO to improve the world is certainly an option but undoubtedly looks different than privatizing the profits and socializing the risks. And I’m convinced it would also be treated differently in the public debate (to an extent anyway) if approached in a different way.
