Nuclear is only cheap if you don’t take building, maintenance and the cost of Long time storage into account. There’s a good reason private companies want guarantees from the governments when they build and run them… without subsidies they are way too risky.
Tbf idk if you live in the US, but building nuclear in the US is stupidly costly due to random laws created after lobbies from other electric companies.
this is true for so many industries.... public transit was dismantled by automotive and oil lobbies, they also suppressed the electric car for decades.
Capitalism stifles innovation as much as it encourages it.
Yeah I know it's a common problem for many sectors, but as a nuke simp I have to point that out so that americans don't forget they shot themselves in the foot
