I wouldn’t build a new power plant, but reactivating existing ones makes sense and is cheaper per GW than solar and reactivation has insignificant emissions.
This answer shows that you have no idea of how this stuff works. Reactivating a shut down nuclear plant would require re-certification. Nobody is going to re-certify a plant built on 1960s technology today and for good reason. If you wanted to bring one of those up to modern standards you might as well build a new one.
Would you put your own money into nuclear power these days?
I absolutely would and have done so: https://www.vaneck.com/us/en/investments/uranium-nuclear-energy-etf-nlr/
I literally own a bit of stock in the most nuclear-power-related company in my country - so yes.
Yes - it’s called my fucking electricity bill.
Paper money, sure. But nickels and dimes? No thanks, I don’t want to walk around with radioactive currency

Yeah, that’s why they’re re-starting one built on 1970s technology
Yeah, let’s see how that goes.
