Shhhhh, the oil/gas and nuclear lobbyists don't like this. Of course it's less expensive you don't have to store the by products or spent fuel rods. It's way better for Mother Earth too. I got to log off now I hear the investors coming.
Ugh.. this again?
The solar/wind lobbyists like how recycling is not at all considered it priced into the products. They also like how any sort of storage, that is unnecessary for nuclear, is not priced in, nor are the additional environmental costs.
Amazing how you can make one system look better when you just ignore a bunch of things.
What do you think those people have been investing in? They're not sitting around on a sinking ship hoping it works out. They've invested in nuclear.
