This is simply, provably false. They have delivered cheap and green electricity and weaned us off fossil fuels gradually.
Theyre growing very very fast because theyre economic and a good investment. Nuclear is not because it is not.
Throw $4 billion of subsidies at solar, wind and pumped storage and youll get more power when you need it than if you did the same for a nuclear power station.
