    The only thing nuclear has going for it at the moment is jobs for the boys. Have a look at Hinkley C in the UK. It’s certainly not for cheap or clean energy.

      It’s not carbon. That’s the biggest thing right now; first and foremost, we need to stop carbon emissions. Nuclear is one pathway there, and there’s no reason it can’t be complimentary to renewables.

        I agree with you about carbon but nuclear has ended up being one of the most expensive alternatives.

        The reason is limited resources. Whatever we invest into nuclear can’t be invested in renewables.
