Plenty of reasons e.g. environmental, injuries/accidents. Maybe I missed a /s though…

Depends. Right now it isnt really that impressive. Bit questionable to build new nuclear power imho. https://feddit.de/pictrs/image/8830c55e-9ffb-4f1a-bd73-89302ce14725.jpeg

Just given that other power sources are so much cheaper.

Then there is also the controversy of explicit and implicit subsidies. For instance here: www.ucsusa.org/…/nuclear_subsidies_summary.pdf

a report that shows historically the subsidies were enormous. Right now it seems a bit tricky to estimate - but I haven’t read the report in detail.

Edit: sorry wanted to answer @qooqie

I think that is a relevant point. But if solar capacity is that much cheaper you can just build much more of it and still offset thenprice.

Germany had >80% renewables for many days this year

Are you suggesting nuclear is steerable? Because afaik it is not.

I don’t see an alternative to 100% renewable + higher capacity to offset storage inefficiency. France is trying it, but it is super costly and unreliable.

maybe be nicer to each other? I hoped Lemmy would be a bit more open.

The phenomenon has a Wikipedia page… whether it exists, who knows, but you can read more there: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass_cliff
