So, between the sheer 5x higher cost of nuclear power and people who hug trees your consided analysis is that the latter held back nuclear power more?
It's like an Illuminati conspiracy theory except with people who dont use soap...
- JohnBooty 4y agoNuclear power is only "5x" higher cost if you utterly ignore the environmental catastrophe of fossil fuels. Global warming will cost countless trillions and displace, sicken, and/or kill billions in the coming centuries.
- Krasnol 4y agoI'm quite sure op meant 5x higher than certain renewables not fossil. Nobody is talking about fossil anymore. It's on the way out just like nuclear.
- goatlover 4y agoAt some point it will, but has fossil fuel use actually declined so far? From what a I’ve read, the Arctic is being looked at as a new frontier for oil and gas exploration as the ice retreats.
- Krasnol 4y agoYes, it has declined in countries which invest into renewables: https://www.cleanenergywire.org/factsheets/germanys-energy-consumption-and-power-mix-charts https://www.cleanenergywire.org/factsheets/germanys-energy-c...
- pydry 4y ago>Nuclear power is only "5x" higher cost if you utterly ignore the environmental catastrophe of fossil fuels. Well, from, like 1960 until about 2010 everybody who built a power plant did exactly that. And, from about 2015 onwards if you didn't ignore it it's still 5x more expensive than solar panels or wind farms. So, between "expensive" and "people who hug trees and have no power", maybe it's the tree-illuminati people.
