I've known uck power wasn't the cheapest for some time.

so I don't see the point of this thread.

Is this some way to support the green teck? b/c that stuff is decades away from being able to keep up with nuke.

Nuke plants cover a small area compared to the vast amounts needed by wind and solar. And nuke plants don't kill birds.


oh

fyi; If nuke plants were the hazard people pretend they are, then more workers would die more often.

Myth; Nuke plants are unsafe
fact; the number of deaths and injuries don't back that claim up.
