Yeah, after believeing big oil way to long, let us now believe the propaganda of the Nuclear Energy Industry because that will turn out to be way better...
Almost all of the anti-nuclear talking points are paid for by big oil. So it's a case of continuing to listen to fossil fuel paid propaganda, or actually looking at reality and a clean power source that can meet all of our energy demands for the next thousand years.
Ballooning costs for Nuclear Reactors and those reactors being built up to 12 years later than scheduled are simply facts. There is a decision to either build smaller solar and wind and decentralize power generation and invest into the power grid or waiting decades for new Nuclear Plants to get built.
It only takes 7 years to build a nuclear plant, and "ballooning costs" only arise due to people being afraid of and simultaneously dependant upon nuclear power once it's built. There wouldn't be ballooning costs if the power plants were built and then decommissioned according to schedule. The increased costs come from maintaining plants for far longer than necessary.
Just below Sir_Osis_of_Liver posted an overview of new Nuclear Power Plants that went way over budget and schedule. The additional costs are massiv.
