If there were proper funding into nuclear plants, why wouldn't there also be some kind of reduction in price as new technologies are improved, like we are seeing with renewables?
What about those molten salt thorium reactors from a few years ago that promised we could basically burn dirt to power our cities for forever?
- kristopolous 7y agoNuclear has always been subsidized. Way more than renewables and many times that of fossil fuels. Over $89 billion has been dumped in to it. That's like 20 companies the size of Lyft or Airbnb and it still performs and delivers poorly. How much more do you want? Maybe, just maybe, it's a fundamentally bad technology and we can do better than nuclear. https://www.taxpayer.net/energy-natural-resources/nuclear-subsidies-past-and-present/ https://www.taxpayer.net/energy-natural-resources/nuclear-su...
