Pretty clearly shows why there’s no future for nuclear power.

Even for filling gaps in renewables, peaker plants are getting cheaper and don’t take 15 years to build.

This is always a weird take to me because it always ignores the fact that nuclear has been screwed continuously for decades. If any other tecbology, renewable energy or not, had the same public and private blockers did it would also have no future.

Nuclear has been screwed by its own track record.

Why do you think it’s had such a wide coalition of public and private opponents?

Well that’s simply false. Its been screwed by ignorancez propaganda and fear mongering.

You clearly don’t understand the other side.

Sure buddy. And you clearly do.

Actually I do. I was a nuclear booster in the 1990’s because it means cheap limitless pollution free power.

Except that they don’t actually deliver on that promise. You can have safe nuclear or cheap nuclear, but if it’s safe it’s not cheap, and the public rightfully won’t accept something that can require evacuating hundreds of square miles for decades.

So wise one, where are those cheap safe nuclear power plants we keep hearing about since 1950?

In France. They standardized the designs so each one isn’t a one-off and they trained more people to work in the field.

Those are not at all cheap and are subsidized by enrichment for weapons purposes.

France is trying to extend their service lifetime beyond what they were designed for because they can’t face the bill to replace them with newer reactors.
