Al Gore Comes Around on Nuclear Energy.

2. I think there is some selective attention here. Computational systems are very important to scientific discovery.

There is a massive demand for computational power for issues like understanding protein folding, - critical to understanding drug design and many environmental effects, for instance plant "omics" - materials science, neutronics, weather modeling, chemistry, physics, general energy science, etc., etc.

I note that DU itself depends on computational power and access.

There are very few modern scientific instruments that do not require access to computational power. Data handling and processing is very important to science, to the degree that I can't imagine science without it.

Any technology is subject to abuse or use. If one is here, having a conversation, one is dependent on computational power. I think DU is a legitimate use of this technology, a positive use.

My view is that the already limited likelihood of preventing deeper environmental catastrophe than is now underway will depend on such access to computation.
