- otikik 4y agoI believe part of why it’s getting more expensive is the lack of investment and innovation, and that’s driven by bad public perception, which drive laws and investigation budgets.
- throw827474737 4y agoThat belief is fine but wrong ;)
- otikik 4y agoAt least my comment includes some reasoning (งツ)ว

- coldtea 4y agoBoth nuclear and renewables are expensive, when the externalities and hidden costs swept under the carpet by industry lobbies are considered. Nothing beats free millions of years in the making energy stored on the ground for us to extract - but even that's non-renewable and getting more cumbersome and expensive to extract.
- goodpoint 4y ago> Both nuclear and renewables are expensive, when the externalities and hidden costs swept under the carpet by industry lobbies are considered. The very opposite. It makes nuclear even more expensive.
