You can make gas with electricity [0], it does not have to come from the ground. Here in the states nuclear is now about 3x as expensive as wind/solar [1]! And to make matters even worse, you generally want to run nuclear at 100% all

Yep, when I was shopping for a condo 2 years ago, basically every place I looked at was selling for the same price as when they were brand new 10 years ago. Good thing though is it is way more affordable than the west coast.
