Its bizarre that nuclear power is a left/right thing. It's clean, safe, and immediately displaces carbon emissions elsewhere. It doesn't require decades of storage and transmission improvements that may or may not come. It just works. Today.
One day nuclear will no longer be neasessary. Until that day comes it is essential. Anyone who disagrees is confusing wishful that being for physics.
- frm88 4mo agoIt is also extremely expensive if you include the cost of decomission, waste management into the overall cost per KWh https://www.smartreability.com/nuclear-energy-price-per-kwh/ https://www.smartreability.com/nuclear-energy-price-per-kwh/
- idiotsecant 4mo agoNo, it's only expensive compared to every other generation source that is not expected to price in externalities. When I get to vent my waste product into the open air my mwh is way cheaper!! Who could have guessed? How much does a natural gas plant that captures all waste output cost?
- Moldoteck 4mo agodecomission cost and waste management costs are included and cheap. You should avoid informing yourself from some politically motivated websites and rely on real financial data like https://www.kkg.ch/de/uns/geschaefts-nachhaltigkeitsberichte.html https://www.kkg.ch/de/uns/geschaefts-nachhaltigkeitsberichte... or check the Onkalo project
