Low-weaponization nuclear reactors already exist, industrial-scale grid storage doesn’t, but yes the answer to this dispute would be much more clear if it did!

Only one type of reactor, the old uranium design, produces anything weapons grade (Which then requires an additional step to purify). Don’t use that reactor design.

Nuclear reactors do not need to use weapons-grade materials or byproducts.

To an extent they’re right but probably not in the way they intended to be. Government subsidies help ensure that animal ag can be profitable and incentivized regardless of consumption levels, and the ever-expanding amounts of land required for most animal ag and it’s support infrastructure (eg feedstock production, a byproduct of industrial soy oil) literal fuel and are fueled by imperial expansion in a cyclic self-reinforcing fashion. If people stopped eating beef today without also protesting it’s existence you’d probably see the animal ag industry continue to run on it’s own fumes for years.

The straw thing was a manufactured distraction.

It’s way simpler to just farm something other than cows. Plants, maybe.

What if they advocate for nuclear power and say leave the solar panels up?

I suppose it’s settled then, no more large trucks!
