Political incompetency should really be baked in any discussion about pushing more nuclear.

You can have miracle new reactor designs, but do you have a society that matches it and will properly manage the technology for the next 50 years ?

You could have stopped after the word "discussion".

I’m pretty optimistic a bout a lot of other things. I think political issues can be overcome, and we can achieve pretty incredible things on case by case basis, as long as it’s not expected to be a permanent state.

Flying rockets requires a lot, and we can manage it. But also the earth won’t be a burning hell if tomorrow some new guy comes in and decides to scrap all human flight plans.
