    It’s only cheap until environment regulations and safety standards are required. If you dont want to have another Chernobyl, fishes with 3 eyes behind the plant or need a plan to store toxic waste for thousands of years, nuclear power dosnt seem so cheap anymore…

      More people die from wind turbines and hydro than from nuclear on a per tWh basis. If we actually want to save lives we would require higher levels of safety standards on fossil fuels that are magnitudes more dangerous than nuclear
