  • once you have reactor designs up and running, building a lot of capacity both cheaper and quicker.

    But its the same with renewables and storage, they will improve as well and most likely keep their cost advantage.

    And you seem to ignore Opportunity costs again. If we build to much nuclear plants and don’t need the energy later we could have invested the money better in other areas, like education. Again, money is a finite resource.

    And another reason why I prefer renewables to nuclear is decentralisation. With renewables everyone can partake in energy generation, while nuclear is only for big corporations or governments. I’d rather have a robust decentralised grid where almost everyone is consuming and producing local most of the time than a grid relying on a few huge producers, which are a huge target for sabotage or vulnerable to natural catastrophes.
