minus-squareZodiacSF1969@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0arrow-down1·2 years agoSuch a dumb question. Building a nuclear power plant requires the collaboration of physicists, nuclear + electrical + civil engineers, etc… Solar requires a certified electrician. We know how to build nuclear safely, it just requires a lot more effort and oversight, therefore is not something you can build at home.
