Like you said, cost of fuel is a small part of generating energy. Besides, PG&E would mark up for the "privilege" of using their power. ;)
- amorphid 16y agoWe don't use thorium today because you can't make bombs from it. Uranium was chosen back in the 40s because you can bombs from the waste produced by a nuclear reactor.
- Adam503 16y agoNo nuclear energy is cheap. It's a big lie. The primary cost of nuclear power generation is decommissioning the reactor after the power generation is over. The Federal Government has 1 trillion dollars in nuclear reactor coming down the road. The nuclear power "industry" is long gone at that point. The decommissioned reactors get spun off into their own little corporation , and the parent corp has it declare bankruptcy, sticking us with the cost of clean up.
