Thanks, spending many days on going through >2k studies, the criteria-based selection and integrating most of these into Wikipedia (the image itself takes less time). Happy to see it's appreciated.

Got curious about the "new nuclear is a costly and dangerous distraction" in climate change mitigation

Went after the source, and the gist of the idea is "going nuclear takes too long, is more expensive than renewables and we need change NOW"

As for the carbon tax being better when going after the rich (because they're the biggest consumers of luxury goods): NO SHIT SHERLOCK

Thanks for this summary! I was not aware of this article: "Why investing in new nuclear plants is bad for the climate".

It sounded a bit counter-intuitive, but I'm gonna read this article
