Reply to comment by RedditIsShit9922 in Germany approves welfare reform, extends nuclear power | Germany's upper house of parliament approved measures aimed at helping people hit hard by high energy prices and the high cost of living. The country's nuclear power extension will also take effect immediately. by misana123

Another person who has bought into the propaganda that nuclear energy isn’t the cleanest, safest and cheapest energy source.

Oil and coal industry has lied to you and you ate it up.

It isn't lol

PV solar is no less safe and it's significantly cheaper at utility scale, I'd say it's probably not as clean due to material but it also doesn't take 10+ years to get an installation operational

lol you just mindlessly repeat the reddit nuclear shilling.

The Inkai Uranium project spans about 486km2 where a hole is drilled every 25-50m and millions of tonnes of sulfuric acid is poured into the ground. Other activity is exluded from an area in a 15km radius or around 1000km2 due to the ground water contamination. It devastates nature on a scale only comparable to coal mining. "bUt iT iS ToTaLly thE cLEaNeST enErgY eVEr!"

The EPR project in France. 15+y in the making, still not operating. The budget has exploded 3 times the original budget. The price per kWh will be between 2-3 times more of new solar PV. Not included of course are the insane costs of building the plants back and taking care of the nuclear waste for thousands of years. Nevermind that there literally is no business case for nuclear energy cause it is so freaking cost inefficient that the only way to make a profit with it is to make taxpayers pay for all the costs and externalities for you! "bUt iT iS tHe cHeApEsT enErgY eVEr!"

Then of course there are the catastrophic, landscape-destroying and ocean/groundwater-poisoning disasters we all know about that supposedly can only happen once every thousand years but already happened multiple times in my lifetime alone. Oh and nuclear waste that will be a safety hazard for THOUSANDS of years. "HERP DERP BUT IT IS ALSO THE SAFEST ENERGY!"

You people are cultists.
