- jnxx 6y agoIf you want an argument against new nuclear power, you need to look no further than at the costs of production: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hinkley_Point_C_nuclear_power_station#Economics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hinkley_Point_C_nuclear_power_... That's a projected 92£ per MWh, with likely further costs increases. Compare that to currently around 60€ / MWh for new solar: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grid_parity https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grid_parity
