That turns out not to be the case.

The Price-Anderson act and equivalents around the world tells a different story.

In Sweden in 2022 the right wing coalition which won promised new nuclear would appear if only it was allowed. Quickly they abandoned large scale nuclear in favor of SMR, PowerPoints reactors are always cheap.

Four years later, we are at:

- The state takes essentially all financial risk, even borrowing the money because Vattenfall refuses to put it on its own balance sheet.

- The state provides a huge direct taxpayer handout.

- The state takes the construction risk. Cost overruns means taxpayers put in more.

- The state subsidizes the entire final waste repository.

- The state subsidizes roughly the entire accident liability.

- The state guarantees the electricity price for 40 years.

That rather proves the point about what happens when new nuclear meets actual financing conditions.

And right wing coaltion just lost the latest election two weeks ago. Seems like we didn't get any new nuclear after all.


That also is almost entirely untrue and has virtually nothing to do with your original claim.

Which bullet is false? Be specific.

I am not going to participate in your Gish Gallop.

If you answer on point to the point, we can have a discussion.

Otherwise: gish along...


I’ll take that as confirmation that you can’t identify a single false claim.

Which is unsurprising, since all six are based on publicly available information.


That would an incorrect conclusion.

As I wrote before: your "claims" are largely just your opinions, some misunderstanding/misinterpretation of the relevant information, but most importantly they are irrelevant.

And I won't engage in your Gish gallop.

Of course, you could have understood that the first time I wrote it.

But feel free to further demonstrate your lack of understanding.

Your call. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
