Nuclear is a clown show
- bigfudge 4y agoI’m not sure if you’re being sarcastic or not, but nuclear has been somewhat of a clown shown because it requires a small number of politically connected firms to function. This has engendered graft and incompetence in many different countries. Renewables suffer less from this because there are many more competitors and all are replaceable.
- wumpus 4y agoI was specifically pointing out that nuclear's construction costs have been going up, not down, despite the entire industry's claim that this time will be different.
