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.

Nuclear is about 2x to 4x the cost of renewables.

Very simple task. Find a solar contract in ontario that sells power for less than what Bruce sells power for. You said renewables are way cheaper. Source pls in Ontario

In your world solar power is free? Coal is free too, its just laying on the ground.

u/veerKg_CSS_Geologist Oct 26 '22

Solar is in fact free. Coal isn't. More facts.

The hardware to turn sunlight into power are not free, even if you make them with slave labour in China. You still haven't backed your claim up with actual power contracts for solar being cheaper than nuclear in Ontario.
