Nuke plants take a decade to get online and cost billions. They have problems, some serious and some tragic. They store incredible amounts of radioactive waste at each one. Then in 40 years when they are used up ,it costs billions more to decommission.
Nuclear energy makes a lot of money for some huge corporations though, The government is the only insurer of nuke plants.
Most Americans want universal health care. I guess America is a rAdIcAl LeFt country.
It's true that Nuclear reactors/plants ARE very expensive to make. But I think, the cost is justified in the long term because nuclear reactors are clean, reliable and efficicient and are an excellent way to produce electricity and other basic energy needs. They have Nuclear reactors in the UK and France and there have never been any problems with them. As to disposing of the radioactive waste products that they generate, that is not a problem. Even when that Nuclear reactor in Japan was severely damaged, and everyone around the world panicked, the truth is that very few people were killed
or injured by that incident.

The land was radiated and now 10 years later they still do not know what to do with the poison water. The huge plants are a total waste of investment and are sucking trillions of dollars of Japanese wealth and technology. They are considering giving up and dumping that water in the ocean. It was a horrible disaster. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiat...clear_disaster
Incorrect. They have problems like any other plants.https://www.independent.co.uk/news/w...t-8196457.html
