I don't think that is the case. However the argument is rapidly becoming
irrelevant: a crashing world economy will use less fuel, and buys us
more time, and in the end only nuclear power will work, and we should
have just about enough time to get it onstream before the lights go out.

Given the crashing world economy and the high cost of building
nuclear power stations then the money is unlikely to be available to
build the things, even if one ignores all the other problems the
things pose.



There is plenty of money for things that are fundamentally necessary.

Nuclear power stations are cheaper than windmills and solar panels,
watt for watt.
