Is this per unit of power produced, and is it taking into consideration the maintenance costs? I don't know the answers but it seems we could be net zero if we had invested in nuclear for more than four decades since climate change was widely accepted. Renewables are great but until battery tech becomes good enough it is not as viable as current nuclear tech.
- weard_beard 3y agoA nuclear world is a world without the possibility of war. I’m not ready to live in a globally “average” culture. That’s a dictatorship where I have few rights, minorities are jailed or mass murdered, and there is very little economic mobility. A global nuclear society requires a global cultural utopia.
