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
tim

government calculated cost price of nuclear was 6-8p a unit.

IF you don't shut it down tax it out of existence, make owners sign in
blood on massive insurance policies designed to rebuild the country from
scratch if someone drops a fuel rod and decomission to a level where its
less radioactive than the inside of an empty lead box after you have
finished etc etc.

ALL of which have been proposed by the Liberal 'democrats'.

All reasonable concerns that could cost the taxpayer.

And still the nuclear waste problem is unsolved.

sigh. No the problem of nuclera waste isn't solved because it's
difficult to make irrational people understand things: you being a prime
example.
There is of course no PHYSICAL problem with nuclear waste.

Its a bit like the Devil. No matter how much you say 'I dont actually
see him anywhere' someone will claim that he comes in and posseses them
on a daily basis...

We haven't solved the problem of the mentally challenged.

Probaly the best thing to do is sit all teh harrys of the world in a big
holiday camp bbu8ilt on top of a radioactive waste dump,. equipped with
geiger counters and tell them they are 'health meters' .
And the higher they are the more bacteria they are getting rid opf.

They would believe it. They believe anything.
