Nuclear energy is bad for the environment because if humanity had cheap and clean electricity there would be more humans and humans are bad for the environment.

Yeah, there's no population growth in places with limited electricity. Well known fact that.

In "3001: The Final Odyssey" , the sequel from the famous SciFi movie "2001: A Space Odyssey", the world has unlimited energy and Earth suffered by a kind of heatstroke. Everyone was using unlimited energy for heating, airco, travel and tons of equipment.

the more you use, the more dissipates out through radiation, reaching an eventual equilibrium... which may or may not theoretically be worse than global warming as a result of burning fossil fuels

Tends to be less population growth for a variety of reasons...

1) Farms are less productive without electricity
2) Hospitals are less effective without electricity
3) Far easier to freeze to death without electricity
4) Food preservation is harder without electricity

None of this is at all how nuclear energy works, so I assume you're being tongue in cheek like I am.

A story about nuclear reactors in a small country south of MyLittleCountry™, west of Germany. Long story short, nuclear powerplants which can not be shut down due to demand for power, microcracks in said reacotr, shutdowns, gov't says "it's safe" and citizens which doubt the story.

Because where there's free energy there tends to be better education and life expectancy leading to much lower birth rates.

Hi peet. I am a little concerned that we, your neighbour are connected to you by a sea that only 50% of your country is > 1 metre above.

it's alright, their cities are already full of boats just in case

We simply make a low budget drama tv series and cash in
