What an absurd thing to say.
Nuclear fuel is several orders of magnitude more energy dense than coal. A "coal power plant using different fuel" would produce energy so cheap it couldn't be metered.
- imtringued 6y agoNo, he's right. Nuclear plants are still just conventional thermal power plants. They "burn" stuff to generate heat and use the heat to drive a turbine. They can't be cheaper because burning coal doesn't have ultra high demands on how the boiler is designed. Meanwhile nuclear reactors can be arbitrarily complex.
