Nuclear is not an outdated tech, why do you say that? Especially the ap1000 reactor. France slept on building more nuclear and was on path to ditch it, reversed only recently, that's why they are where they are, still - in much better shape than Germany in this regard
- Krasnol 2y agoWestinghouse went bankrupt over that new reactor, and wasn't it supposed to be more cost-effective? Nuclear has peaked, and its share knows only one way. Down [1]. It neither has become in any way more significant better nor has it become cheaper or faster to build. Meanwhile, renewables, got better, cheaper and faster to build. Nuclear is tech from the past. We needed it once. Now it's clogging up the grids, wasting taxpayer money and leaving waste behind for generations to care about.

- Moldoteck 2y agoit was supposed to be more cost effective, but not for foak and untrained staff. That's why china and korea can build basically same design much cheaper and faster - they got experienced staff and costs reduced with each new build
