Namely, do you think it has a future in the wave of next gen clean energy sources? If you support it, do you think it will always be viable or that it should only be a temporary measure to get us off fossil fuels while our renewable infrastructure grows?

I think that nuclear energy is actually a decent temporary solution for countries until they can transition to other energy sources of energy that are much safer and with fewer negative consequences. However, there needs to be regulation and control throughout the whole process, private companies of course shouldn't be allowed to run them, governments should buy the absolute best available equipment possibly at a monetary loss to themselves. Plus investing into figuring out a nuclear waste disposal solution.
