The final figure will be significantly higher. Asked if the figure was likely to exceed €10 billion, he said: “Yes, we are talking about such magnitude.”
You can’t take money with you, but we will leave an atmosphere behind

While I’m pronuclear we really need to invest in better nuke power tech. Spending billions, mainly due to the risks with current water cooled reactors, is handicapping it. Systems that minimize waste, use passive failsafe systems, etc are needed.

The ship has sailed on nuclear tech being worthwhile now if you haven’t already committed to it and are well underway. Instead, renewables offer a cheaper, safer and much faster return on investment while being ultimately better for the environment. It’ll take much more than what is offered by gen IV for that to change.
This is a load of bullshit perpetuated by those invested in solar and idiots who don’t understand how the power grid works.
Without massive breakthroughs in energy storage, I’m talking multiple nobel-prize winning discoveries, renewables won’t be able to replace nuclear because most energy we use is generated on demand.
Without a way to store the energy generated from most renewable sources, we would have periods of excess where energy is wasted, and periods of insufficiency where we don’t have enough energy production or storage to meet demand.
I guarantee you, every. single. article (blogpost) explaining why renewables are ‘cheaper’ does not focus on energy storage or delivery. They purposefully ignore this information because it’s easier to take advantage of laymen by focusing solely on ‘production.’
