And Fusion is good, not the Nuclear we have now. I feel like people who advocate for Nuclear don't understand those are two very different things.

So because of politics they get wrapped up together when they should be seperate.

We have Hydro, Solar, Air, we can use those with Oil and Gas until Fusion is figured out.

Makes no sense to risk the world by putting hundreds of Nuclear Reactors everywhere.

We currently do not have the technology to provide a baseline for energy without nuclear or fossil. Hydro cannot grow, while solar and air depend on weather/time of day. There are risks with nuclear, but they're not as dramatic as what you seem to think.
