  Neither does nuclear. 80% of the population of the exclusion zone in Fukushima prefecture have already returned to their homes. People can even move back to Futaba, a town next to the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. Nuclear power produces cheap, emission-free and reliable electricity. It's as safe as wind power and it's life-cycle emissions are even less. > https://ourworldindata.org/what-is-the-safest-form-of-energy https://ourworldindata.org/what-is-the-safest-form-of-energy > https://www.iea.org/reports/projected-costs-of-generating-electricity-2020 https://www.iea.org/reports/projected-costs-of-generating-el... > https://www.energy.gov/ne/articles/what-generation-capacity https://www.energy.gov/ne/articles/what-generation-capacity

    > Nuclear power does not produce cheap, emission-free and reliable electricity Fixed that for you. Nukes produce the most expensive electricity of all. Always have, counting subsidies. Their value proposition gets even worse each day, as renewables cost continues on down. They will be mothballed soon as too expensive to continue operating at all, as people choose to buy cheaper power elsewhere. As the amount of time they can find a market for power declines, their cost per delivered KWh multiplies without bound.
