More from terrible palestini terror. You see the Palestini have a history of violent terrorism and using ambulances for terror. It might be time to move to the two state solution. Cities in area A and B can stay, but Israel gets the rest and the rest of the Palestinians can go back to Jordan. Gaza can become the state of Palestine.

It’s literally one of the cheapest per KWh and is getting cheaper. Everyone who is familiar with the nuclear industry knows that “safe disposal” is a literal non issue that gets talked about a lot. In fact waste is so small that in the US all high level waste is stored on site. And nuclear power is not subsidized.

The only real issue with modern reactors is initial cost, building the plant is really expensive due to regulations (no I’m not saying de-regulate). Yes they need to be maintained but so does everything, and when maintained they outlive any current form of energy.

Not cheap at all taking investment and maintenance costs as well as safe disposal into account. If it wasn't for subsidiaries no one in the right mind would invest in these. The amortization is terrible if you have to pay for everything yourself. Aside from that, France as far as reports revealed is already running low on storage capacity, with closed cycle processes still being far from sufficient to compensate for this.
