Retail electricity prices in France are €0,13/kWh, so not that cheap (€0,18/kWh pre pandemic). https://www.statista.com/statistics/418087/electricity-price... This doesn't matter, though, because

But how should that gain in energy output be possible without making the whole system huge, too? The heat generating part of a nuclear power station only makes up a small fraction, most of the material is for transforming the heat to electr

EVs are a tiny market in the US, smaller than e.g. the EV market in Germany (which has <20% of the US population) - I can't imagine this to be a big source of new grid load. IMO a huge win-win situation would be enforcement of moder

I really looked into that quite deeply. Biontech got so much money for funding the trials that they apparently had too much and put it in reserve for 2022. The public invested billions into building production capacity. I'd be glad t
