Nuclear power: no, yes, maybe, but not like this.

One of the few analyses I’ve seen that is not completely clownish. Gets a few things wrong but nothing that destroys the thesis.

China is able to build a nuclear reactor for under $3 billion, so there’s no reason a nuke in the EU should cost โ‚ฌ10 billion-โ‚ฌ15 billion+ to construct. Something fishy is going on there, obviously.

Here’s what 45 years of nuclear waste looks like:

In contrast, if you gathered all the waste of a coal plant it’d be a lake two miles around and two miles deep (-ish, this math is not exact). And it would’ve generated more radioactivity in that time (for no purpose at all) than an equivalent nuke plant.
