@davidgerard @wordshaper it's all a distraction, as the numbers have not worked for nuclear, ever:

"A study in 2019 by the economic think tank DIW Berlin, found that nuclear power has not been profitable anywhere in the world.[22][unreliable source?] The study of the economics of nuclear power has found it has never been financially viable, that most plants have been built while heavily subsidised by governments, often motivated by military purposes, and that nuclear power is not a good approach to tackling climate change. It found, after reviewing trends in nuclear power plant construction since 1951, that the average 1,000MW nuclear power plant would incur an average economic loss of 4.8 billion euros ($7.7 billion AUD)."

@davidgerard @wordshaper also, this image tells the story most clearly of the trends.

A graph showing trends in cost of energy, showing nuclear becoming more expensive over time, coal staying the same, and solar and wind becoming massively cheaper over time.
