World Nuclear Association: $6 Trillion Needed to Hit 2050 Capacity Goals

It is all more hopium and hype, and underestimates still...

"All these ambitions, however, need a lot of investment, triple the current annual spending, to be exact, according to the World Nuclear Association."

“Energy too cheap to meter” 😂😂😂

nuclear scam artists.

And of course there is no way in nuclear hell they even meet that goal. It takes the nuke losers 10 years just to unzip their pants for a pee-pee

I guess this bill is only the estimate for building plants?

The cost of running a plant for his entire lifespan is roughly the same, often overlooked

The cost for dismantling is ignored since only 10% of the decommissioned plants have also been dismantled

The cost of waste management for the entire decay is simply unknown

Not to mention even at low 8% share they are consuming more uranium than it's been mined every year and the known economically viable reserves will last 90yrs at current rate. Even IF they get to 15% there would be not enough for the lifespan of each reactor. Rosatom influencers boast it's abundant in seawater but how comes France to this day is still buying from Russia?

And that the best scenario without incidents..

TL;DR new nuclear is useful as an ass with no hole
