The mandatory link on true financial costs of nuclear.

Germany's nuclear waste disposal will end up costing over 100 billion, the companies themselves shelled out a mere fraction of it, and the public is now officially on the hook for the rest.
I really don't get the nuclear argument. We are in a crisis, and yet it's being argued for a very expensive solution that will come online ... in a decade or two. If all goes according to plan, which currently is not really the case. We do not have the funds to go 100% nuclear now, so why not do the cheap and fast version that reduces the carbon footprint almost immediately? If it turns out 100% renewable is not possible, then build nuclear. Like I said, they won't all built in one go anyway.
