I love how nuclear is too expensive because it costs billions, but long range power lines, which also costs billions, are somehow a better waste of money.

- revertmean 4y agoLong range power cables only cost billions if they're >1000km long. But this is besides the point. Energy companies spent money on long range power cables because they calculate they can make a profit on the transmitted energy. Nuclear power stations spend taxpayer billions because they can't possibly compete commercially. That's the key difference.
