That, of course, is bs. You do not need to know how things work, just look at Chernobyl and Fukushima that are still a threat for the common 10k years. Same with the covid vaccins, we see the results but do not know how they work, so you just have to keep your mouth shut and take it? That is very tyrannical thinking.

That being said. I am for nuclear power. Why? If handled correctly, it is one of the safest way to generate electricity with less pollution and waste then for example fossil fuels, solar panels, ugly windmills, etc. And we need power, no civilization can go without or loose standard of living.
