What services?

This is extortion

How about no

Birbs: "am I a joke to you?"

that's pretty common for big box stores. they're put up cheaply and the buildings are only rated to last 15 years in some cases.

nonsense regulation combined with some high profile failures from barely modified gen 2 designs being built in countries where there hasn't been a nuclear construction industry for decades so they have to build the infrastructure from scratch each time. it's the wrong approach. the SMR route way is better.

snuffed out by big oil who co-opted anti nuclear weapons protestors to take out their competition

also since fuel costs aren't really a problem for nuclear power, you can just throw away excess generation. not the best idea but perfectly possible in a pinch

yeah, do a nuclear backup for renewables. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integral_Molten_Salt_Reactor this reactor outputs solar salt, which can store energy efficiently for hours and allow load following

china's been building dozens of reactors, all of a common design which is the correct way https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hualong_One

bullshit regulatory costs can increase infinitely without nay change to the underlying engineering or economics. that's 100% the cause of the price increses

big oil pushes this stuff, by the way. because they know the reality that when nuclear plants get shut down, natural gas replaces it
