The problem is that nuclear can't compete on cost with fossil fuels, and we've failed to make those obsolete.

- nickpp 3y agoThe reason nuclear is so expensive and slow to build is overregulation. It also slowed R&D so much that we haven't created and tested the reactor designs that were safer, smaller and easier to run. It's like when inventing the airplane we would've stopped because the high number of crashes and never reached today's safety and convenience.
