        It’s relevant because the less-resource-efficient oil industry has lobbied to make nuclear power artificially inefficient so that their industry can continue to exist.

          I don’t think anyone is arguing for the oil industry.

          Even if nuclear power plant byproducts were re-used at 100%, this would still decidedly not make nuclear energy more resource efficient than solar and wind.

            this would still decidedly not make nuclear energy more resource efficient than solar and wind.

            Maybe true only at small scale.
