    New nuclear reactors are fully or nearly fully automated I think. If humans disapeared overnight, they can fully shut down by themselves. Also newer reactors are made so that you need to actively monitor the reaction to even keep it going unlike old reactors (that are not in use anymore I think) that had you monitoring it to prevent it blowing up.

    Don’t take this as a fact but I think buying a not so old but not recent diesel might be the best choice. I have an old VW Golf 6 from 2010. All it requires is yearly service and thats it. It does around 5l/100km depending on where you’re driving and how.

    Somebody needs to do the math but I think buying a used one makes the least amount of environmental impact vs a new one even if you take into account the worse efficency of older cars.

    As for gas vs diesel vs electric, you gotta do the math yourself, I’m to lazy :)
