Coal producers love every nuke project: that represents a solid decade more sales, vs. wind or solar that would start displacing coal immediately, several times as much in the end for the same investment, and then radically less opex.
- mcronce 4y agoThis isn't really accurate. There's a reason that fossil fuel companies/executives "embrace" intermittent renewables while running decades-long smear campaigns to turn public opinion against nuclear.
- ncmncm 4y agoThat was the old way. Now that coal is clearly doomed, nukes are their lifeline.
