What I actually agree with the nukes is the insanity of only 3% burnup of the nuclear fuel. It could be way over that with fuel breeding. Yet that 3% burnup contains so much energy a plant can run 6kk to a year before they need to do any fuel shufling. So the fuel is cheap, but operating the plant is not. The safety standard and buerocracy is too high due to the fear mongering which is currently self-reinforcing. (Thought I wish no more PWRs would be needed, since if one pops I’ll be an another fukushima. Nervously looking at OL3 5GW thermal/1.6GW that thing is way too big of a unit)
