You think something has to be original? I don't care who first used

So, said originally by someone who should have known better, and then
picked up by dumb clucks who didn't know any better.

Just the same as today. Those who advocate the use of nuclear can't
foresee the future and the possibility of a disaster. And the costs of
decommissioning old plant etc. All of which can add to the unit cost of
electricity. It's pretty well as saying renewables are free.


The energy to power renewables is free, always will be and is truely
endless.
The future cost will not rise (it is falling), unlike fossil fuels and
nuclear power.
No-one can take it away from us.
Decommisioning renewable energy plant is cheap and re-cycleable.

Power stations always cost money.
The nuclear industry has always lied to us, is still lying and always will.
