There isn’t really any other option than nuclear. Solar & wind can’t power industry. | ||

That’s just not true. For the same cost as a nuclear plant of some rated power, you can build far more solar, wind, and batteries. The pro-nuclear propaganda is suspiciously associated with people with a history of also wanting to build nuclear weapons. The Liberal Party of Australia is an example — they seem very interested in overpriced nuclear power and obtaining nuclear powered subs capable of launching nuclear tipped missiles.

Well named account. I assume it's a parody account. Nuclear needs to get down to a capex of maybe $3/W to have a chance. This is a very big ask. | ||
