I love it. Localise and externalise the harm! Just hope the poor souls who have to work in lithium extracing and refining are paid well.

So anything's a gamble? Gotcha.

>building nuclear is not competitive

It clearly is, if France is selling nuclear power to the rest of Europe.

We (well, at least in the UK) have plenty of them. It's all that tricky, expensive, and financially unrewarding infrastructure that's holding things back.

We pay Scottish windfarms about £200million per year to curtail their output, just because we can't get the power from source to sink.

So it's easy to throw up some wind turbines and solar panels, but difficult, expensive, and requires cutting-edge technology to make them useful as power sources to the national grid?

>Nuclear promises many things, but so far shows no signs of fulfilling them.

Last time I checked, France's nuclear power stations were keeping the lights on in Europe while Germany scrambles to start up coal plants.

So renewables are not cheap, easy, and quick?

If modern renewables are so affordable as investments, provide quick returns, and produce electrictiy that's 30% the cost of nuclear, then why isn't it everywhere and electric power very cheap?
