I think many are coming up on their end of life span, nevertheless.

It's a given that the tech that most plants go by can be improved, the facts are still the facts, in the US, no one has died from them yet.
I have done two things in my life that makes me an expert on this. One as a submariner I have to know a lot about the reactor on a submarine. By earning my "Dolphins" I have to get a good knowledge of how it all works and the safety features. They were pretty damn safe. Second, I did a lot of earthquake construction by upgrading elevators in Los Angeles. If they can have a Nuclear Reactor that's safe on a floating war ship, two on a big carrier, where one can supply enough electricity to power a city in the Philippines. Then they can build a safe reactor near cities in the US.
I would rather live near a reactor than one of those giant propane storage tanks

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that
