Nuclear is more expensive, and the cost is growing. There will be almost certainly be no private investment in nuclear in the future unless it’s ideologically driven.

even if this is the case, i still think it's a good idea to at least invest in research and development in nuclear fission, which might even help fusion down the road. Not to mention it's always good to have alternatives. Would be a shame if we found out that solar panels are actually the new asbestos or something silly.

The only problems with solar are incoming president McFuckface’s tariffs, and AI’s propensity to use every goddamn moving electron in the world.
