- DrBazza 5y agoI'm not disagreeing that batteries are cost efficient, just pointing out that batteries aren't (natural) resource efficient.
- shafyy 5y agoSure, but digging for Uranium isn't a walk in the park, either :-) I'm just pointing to the fact that if the data in the Our World in Data does in fact inclulde these costs for both our cases, then it's still clear that the costs of renewable + battery is cheaper than nuclear and still on a strong downward trend.
