I am interested in hearing your opinions about nuclear power, what you know, if you have any fears, or ideas? Do you know if your country has any nuclear power generation?

    Nuclear energy is expensive to generate compared to its green competitors. Therefore, it’s a waste of time and money to focus on it at a time when renewable energy is currently cheaper to produce, knowing that the gap between nuclear and energy is projected to widen even more.

        How so? Shouldn’t our societies aim to produce the most cost-beneficial energy? Also, my opinion is based on a range of economic indicators, including Australia’s CSIRO’s calculations for nuclear energy prices in kWh vs other renewable prices per kWh. I am of course excluding fossil fuels (obviously nuclear energy beats that with respect to GHGs, but drops the ball when matched against scalable renewables like solar and wind).

          Cost effectiveness isn’t the only consideration. My area isn’t how they move the power around but I know that plays a role too.
