If anything is a total disgrace it is the temper tantrums of the nuclear fanboys in recent years when their technology of choice falls further and further behind price-wise despite extreme government subsidies and building new power plants becomes embarrassingly expensive and long to the point where it couldn’t save us from climate change even if all countries of the world started building plants for 100% of their energy use 10 years ago.
Not good at reading comprehension, huh? If something is expensive even though half of the costs involved are covered by subsidies the real costs are even higher which means nuclear is even less competitive if you took all the costs into account.
Funny how that story in various sources is literally the only place where the term “structural decline” appears (it is the whole page of top results for that term when searching for it), almost as if they needed to come up with a new kind of decline they could claim to have achieved specifically to talk about their numbers.
Meanwhile France, a country that gets most of its power from nuclear has had nothing but problems in the last few years.

Imagine bleating about government subsidies being expensive when we’re talking about averting a climate disaster. 🤡
Meanwhile, the one country that is building nuclear power at scale along with actually manufacturing renewable energy is where emissions are now in structural decline https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/nov/13/chinas-carbon-emissions-set-for-structural-decline-from-next-year
