The biggest problem with nuclear is that it's too expensive. Even after massive subsidies, it's more expensive than unsubsidized renewable alternatives would be.
And the worst part for nuclear is that while solar and wind are getting significantly cheaper, nuclear is getting more expensive.
Finally, the major costs for solar/wind at the moment is storage. With electric cars, and the fact that nearly every consumer company is spending money towards cheaper electricity storage, it's just a significantly better bet at the moment.
- notyourwork 10y agoCurious why nuclear is going up? It would seem anything scientific or technically advanced would over time trend down.
