The chart is clear. Nuclear is in no way competitive. Not to mention all the other issues around nuclear proliferation, centralization of power, risks in case of war and terrorism. And lack of cooling water due to climate change etc.
- Ekaros 4y agoDoes that include storage for 100% of demand for 1 year at 95% capacity? Pretty reasonable ask for And nuclear proliferation would be a good thing. More nations have nukes the more peaceful world would be. Only those who want to invade other countries are against it.

- Ekaros 4y agoWhy, should not electricity be cheap all the time. Like when it is produced from nuclear powerplants. And not go for considerable periods to multi euro range per kwh like from solar and wind. Horribly badly, just look at countries like USA, Britain, France invading countries like Afganistan and Iraq. Just imagine if either of those could have delivered nukes to NYC or Washington DC. Many of the invasions might not have happened if the countries had realistic and effective tools to fight against the bad guys and cause considerable combatant losses at their home soils.
