We don't have another twenty years to wait for nuclear costs to maybe come down and then another twenty years to build enough cheap nuclear to become carbon neutral. Renewables are cheap today and can be built much faster than nuclear.
- panick21_ 4y agoEven if the first generation is not cost effective, neither was the first generation of wind and solar. However we have 28 years until 2050 and for really deep carbonation having advanced nuclear would be really awesome. Not to mention other benefits like radio isotopes, medical isotopes, rational solution to the removal of the current waste, a backup option in case a volcano disrupts solar on a large scale and so on. We are not doomed just because not every single $ of spending is going into more solar panels.
