Nuclear Power Is Not Playing With a Rubber Ball
When it goes to the level of nuclear power, the much harder to experiment with. Nuclear power is more than im not playing with a rubber ball where you throw in bonds to back up. It's playing with a grenade. You throw it down and a doezen' bounds up, t explodes and a lot of people die. So he problem with nuclear power is cost inflation. The cost to build new nuclear planets has been rising relentlessly for decades - mostly driven by increased caution around safety. Even though we could make a hell of a lot of electricity from nuclear power, we didn't have the trial and error element to be able to play round and tinker to try to maximize that.
