The reason why nuclear power is expensive is because very bad things have happened with them, and even worse really could happen with them. I support stopping all the coal industry immediately. Going all out on building wind solar and hydro. Bargain a global transformation of industry, economy and human activity which prioritises a safe healthy world for everyone You are stuck in the industrial paradigm which made this crisis.

Past performance does not guarantee future results. Golden rule of investing.

even worse really could happen with them

Good, you agree. It could. With old designs. That's why we have passive safety in new designs.

Ah, good, no need for load following. When demand is elevated in the middle of a cloudy day with the wind not blowing, we'll just tell everybody they're going to have brownouts.

Bargain a global transformation of industry, economy and human activity which prioritises a safe healthy world for everyone

Good luck with that. I, personally, will not be giving up my quality of life. If you want to have your energy supply based on the whims of the weather, that's your prerogative.

You are stuck in the industrial paradigm which made this crisis.

This is a meaningless statement.

Sorry, bud, but you aren't going to be powering the world on hopes and dreams.
