Don't worry, you and your kids are paying for green subsidies as well.
The math on nuclear power is not a settled matter: some studies say it's convenient, some studies say it's not.
It's hard to say who's right on the matter, but we also spent decades not improving nuclear reactor technology.
Overall I'd say I'm more confident in nuclear energy being the best for generating energy at scale, while renewables are great for reducing or eliminating the dependency on a national grid.
- locallost 4y agoI am not paying for renewables subsidies, nor did I ever. There was a guaranteed price per kWh minimum, that was funded by the consumer, but even this part of the bill was reduced to 0 this year. It's a settled matter. We know how much it costs to produce electricity from different sources based on upfront and operational costs, and nuclear is not competitive.
