Last time I checked, France's nuclear power stations were keeping the lights on in Europe while Germany scrambles to start up coal plants.
- dale_glass 4y agoWhat does that have to do with anything? My argument isn't that nuclear doesn't work as a technology -- it obviously produces power. My argument is that building nuclear is not competitive, and that's why nobody is building any. If you already have a working power plant obviously it can and should be used. Somebody already footed the bill for that one, so that problem is solved for that particular plant. But that has nothing to do with whether building more is a good idea.
- fewavewavewa 4y ago>building nuclear is not competitive It clearly is, if France is selling nuclear power to the rest of Europe.

- fewavewavewa 4y agoSo anything's a gamble? Gotcha.
- Schroedingersat 4y agoWell no. They were both scams. It's just in the latter case you get to choose not to buy, but in the former your tax is spent on it to hide the costs.
