i was curious about the cost of mining and refining nuclear fuel. It seems like a very energy intensive process. Turns out fuel is a tiny part of the cost of nukes. The overwhelming cost is the multi-billion dollar price tag of the physical plant itself, which will only last about 30 years. All the same total cost of adding nuclear power is now about 5x the cost of renewables. This says nothing of risks and costs of storing spent fuel. I will let you do your own research. When you do Google you will get all sorts of “sponsored content” explaining the “facts” and “truth” about nuclear power. One caught me eye. I hope this is a prank. I can’t get Alexa to play the song I want to hear. I’m sure as heck ain’t gonna let AI drive my car. Let’s hope nobody lets this stuff anywhere near nuclear power.
