§ Nuclear Energy Prices

created 2026-09-07
  • Henrik's claim: nuclear is the most expensive way to produce energy.
  • UK nuclear: "if it ever happens, it would be the most expesntive giga watt hour"
  • Henrik's adj to ideal energy mix: renewables plus gas to smooth out the spikes.
  • Would be nice to to have nuclear, but is too expensive.
  • Sid's model of the world (no numbers): Nuclear is expensive to build, but cheap to run.
  • Furthermore, we've gotten worse at building nuclear. So, the aggregate cost of buuilding K nuclea plants is offset by improvements.
  • Sid's ideal mix: nuclear + renewables + storage
