Nuclear is orders of magnitude better than other low-co2 options

The sibling post seems to indicate otherwise though and mentions they're about the same? Any idea where that difference in numbers come from?

Nuclear is not orders of magnitude better in EROI, so I don't know what you think you were claiming.
