The cost of not creating new nuclear plants is building more coal and natural gas plants.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

That is definitely not true for Sweden nor for most countries in Europe. Especially as coal plants are a massive waste of money.

We are at a point were renewables get built more and more.

Even Germany wouldn't have had to build Coal and Gas Plants, but the CDU that was in power for about 20 years was fighting against renewables all the time (eg basically banning wind turbines in Bavaria).
