>"Uranium is a quite common element on earth ( fuck its in regular ocean water if you filter enough)"
It also needs to be concentrated ya dingus, otherwise it wouldn't be economic. If you go by the percentages of the earth crust, then you are doing it wrong. Those numbers also include the infissible U-238.
>"uranium isnt the only nuclear fuel"
Yes and no. You need breeder reactors to create other fissible elements (which adds to costs) and don't you fucking dare to mention thorium, because you saw it in a youtube video
>"Nuclear power gets shit on by ignorant retards"
Agree, but you are also ignorant of nuclears shortcomings. That isn't better. Nuclear is good for small, power hungry nations and for baseline electricity. That's it, no more.

It would also radiate if we didn't use it up in a reactor. Technically we are shortening the radiation of the whole earth, so it's a positive. When you mined uranium, you make the place where you mined it "less radioactive". Just put the used up (now less radioactive) waste products back into the earth (of course where it is safe to do so).
