No, because there's been a concerted move against nuclear from several actors (petroleum industry, greenpeace and related organizations) which made us not invest in Nuclear for 50 years. It's not for the lack of means to build to it. China is building hundreds of reactors in the past few years while the US enjoys power cuts.
- Tade0 4y agoChina built around 50 reactors to date - they still have less generating capacity than France and wind power has been producing more energy (in terms of TWh delivered) than nuclear in China since at least 2013.
- dispat0r 4y agoTWh used should be the standard, nobody cares for produced energy that isn't used.
