Speaking of which: yeah, so much for "clean nuclear energy." As soon as you have a war, a nuclear reactor becomes a huge liability. It doesn't even have to be hit by a missile. All that needs to happen is for maintenance to be interrupted, and you've got an enormous mess on your hands. All those geniuses trying to persuade us how safe and clean nuclear is are implicitly counting on thousands of years of uninterrupted peace.

Unless of course you design your reactors to be walk-away safe. The technology to do that has existed since the 1960s.
