Yes, I didn't even bring nuclear into my equations.
Pure, safe nuclear, without enviro-nazis interference, would be well under $0.04, 10% of what Germany is going to be paying, 1/3 of what we pay now.
What was that movie, "The China Syndrome"? Few people realize that they are still paying for that movie every month in the form of higher electric bills.
I guess we should be thankful, 20,000,000 people have already been required to pay for the book, “The Silent Spring” by Rachel Carlson, with their lives.
You can’t blame the movie for being right. Westinghouse and GE insisted on using technology that is capable of melting down, when far safer technologies such as pebble bed and molten salt were and are still available. Then Jimmah Carter decided to stockpile partially used fuel instead of reprocessing and voila, a radioactive cluster***.
Nuclear power is a corrupt idiocracy that has in effect destroyed itself by lobbying for the least safe, most illogical approach.
There is nothing I would like to see more than a nuclear driven economy, but with the low-information President and Washington palm greasing machine it just ain’t gonna happen.
