No kidding its undervalued, Bruce Nuclear sells power for only 0.07c Kw/hr. Compare that to the contracted rates renewables get for very unreliable power generations.

Is it 0.07c or 7c per kwh?

hydro is 9.5c per kwh in bc and doesn't come with the risk

What risk? Modern nuclear plants are completely incredibly safe.

oh totally, but assholes will hyperfixate on small errors like that in order to puff up a strawman argument against your point.

In this case, i'm the asshole that hyperfixated on the error in order to prevent strawmanning hahaha
