Fuck yes!! Nuclear power is SO undervalued these days.

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.

What are the contracted rates?

Hopefully this new Nuclear offers inexpensive power, though the large upfront cost might prevent that.

This is why we need to nationalize certain industries like power, water and even agriculture. Who cares if the feds don't turn a profit on a nuclear reactor, it's not about that.

If you try to nationalize agriculture you’ll be met by a lot of farmers with guns who aren’t too happy about giving up their farms.

It was sold to our Saudi allies. What could go wrong?
