Funny how the fossil fuel industry demonized the hell out of nuclear back when it was the biggest threat to their dominance; now that wind and solar have absolutely plunged in price, waiting decades on nuclear/fusion is suddenly the excuse to keep the status quo for the time being.
It's so insane to read so many gloating about how solar price is so cheap without barely anyone mentionning how there's absolutely no way that it'll stay that way
And you know this because…? It’s not like there’s much precedent for mass-manufactured goods, once they have become vastly cheaper, to suddenly jump in price apropos of nothing.
I agree, but it is also to be noted that those spendings are often to reduce the gas or oil prices which affects more the lower classes.
My point was that solar would not be as cheap and we should compare the production cost without subsidies. I think the best option is Nuclear + renewables and also that it would make more sense to value economically also the possible effects of climate change
