- They claim nuclear could create a million of jobs in Europe. What kind of jobs ? Is that job creation or job swapping ?
- Switching to nuclear power guarantees energy independence. But where is the uranium we need ? How can we guarantee delivery ?
The argument I hear against building new nuclear plants is that it's basically too late:
- it takes 30 years or more to build one
- it usually costs twice as planned
- it's way more expensive than renewables
- renewables can be deployed now
I do believe we should have built more nuclear plants 20 or 30 years ago but we were drunk on cheap oil and gas.
