> It's no longer cost competitive, and places like China that adopt a "let's try everything and see what works best" approach have heavily pulled back on nuclear.
Another renewables advocate who equals the LCOE (levelized cost of energy) with the system costs, completely ignoring that it’s not the LCOE which drives up the costs for renewables, it’s the necessary backup plants unless you have access to lots of hydro power per capita.
Case in point.
France: 50 million tons CO2 p.a. in the energy sector, 50 g/kWh
Germany: 350 million tons CO2 p.a. in the energy sector, 400 g/kWh
Germany: 31 Euro-Cents/kWh
France: 18 Euro-Cents/kWh
Please stop spreading the “nuclear is expensive” narrative.
