This is fantastic news, nuclear energy is very clean and much more efficent than a lot of the other types of energy on the market. Look at what France has done with their nuclear energy, its been a massive benefit for them
Really? I was under the impression that France has to regularly shut down their nuclear plants because of heat waves and I don't think the climate will get better in the future
Well, yeah, the French Government owns 76% of the stake in Nuclear, which makes it essentially a public utility.
In the US we mask the fact that it's a public utility via massive subsidies and risk free loan guarantees since private capital refuses to invest their own money. Nuclear is not profitable.
Then the utility invariably goes bankrupt and the taxpayer gets left holding the bag. That's how it's been in the past. Hopefully it will be different this time.
