Old but still relevent.

No, old and irrelevant. Each one of these "points" is comprehensively
demolished each time it's put forward. But you're too dim to notice.

First claimed point "Nuclear is too expensive"

That's an easy one to test:

Electricity prices

Italy - Electricity domestic average 22p/kWh
UK - Electricity domestic average 15.5p/kWh
France - Electricity domestic average 14p/kWH

Nuclear Generation

Italy 0 TWH/pa
UK 62.1 TWH/pa
France 387.8 TWH/pa


Tch Much of the French nuclear plant is due for replacemant.
The we'll see the true cost.

Taxpayer subsidised, in debt, in danger of default.


Unlike domestic solar and windpower eh. Harold?


But that's completely irrelevant to the argument posit that the "French"
nuclear price is, or in this case isn't, the achievable price in an
unsubsidised world
