The amount of shilling for nuclear energy on this site is never ceases to amaze me. It's just more expensive than alternatives https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economics_of_nuclear_power_plants#/media/File:3-Learning-curves-for-electricity-prices.png https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economics_of_nuclear_power_pla... and the costs related to storing fuel, decommission old reactors and so on are also huge and paid by the taxpayer.
- _-david-_ 4y agoNuclear is reliable and can run 24/7. Wind and solar cannot guarantee production. This means you need storage. The problem with storage is you need to determine how much you want. If you decide on 1 month of storage what happens when you have limited wind and sun for a month and you are running out of stored power? Nuclear doesn't have that problem. This is why nuclear is a must in the future.
- drited 4y agoAre you seriously claiming that saying closing existing nuclear is stupid is 'shilling' for nuclear? New nuclear is expensive. Existing nuclear is not.
