  • Cost still matters, especially if renewable energy is cheaper and has the same emissions.

    I am not supporting capitalism by saying that cost still matters. If socialist states didn’t care about cost when building stuff they would have all dissolved long ago.

    Anyway I very well may be wrong that nuclear is expensive. It is likely just expensive in Australia which is where I live and were I have done my research on (Since Aussie maga has been pushing hard for nuclear energy recently)


  • My information is coming from Australia, where nuclear energy was heavily pushed by the fossil fuel industry (mainly because it would take like 30+ years for the first power plant to be in operation allowing them to expand coal and gas power plants in the meantime.) even though several reports where made debunking these claims and showing how horrible of an idea it would be to build nuclear energy for so many reasons including it’s incredibly high price tag (these same documents showed how renewable energy is generally the cheapest.)

    Maybe this is only the case in Australia.
