Comment on Bill Gates Says China Is Outspending the World on Nuclear Power

  Nuclear’s stagnation has more to do with short-sighted financial incentives and public backlash from people acting as either useful idiots or paid shills of the fossil fuel lobby than anything else.

  Thankfully the world is gradually realizing this mistake and investment in nuclear is improving again.

    I have heart this arguments in discussions for at least 20 years. So I remain highly doubtfull. But, to get back to the point, renewables are cheaper , built faster, and have more societal acceptance. Sure, some countries will build NPPs but thats not the future or the majority.

  Nice data out of context, but renewables are fucking useless to any grid without gas or nuclear to buffer the loads.
