    yeah but how much more is Uranium if it’s mined in Canada compared to the one from Niger or Russia?

    Consider the cost from fuel is not mainly for uranium ore, but for fuel manufacturing and processing. Like taking the ore and transformer them in pellets fuel.

    May uranium ore double in price the increase of cost for nuclear would be less than 0,005€/kWh

    start producing energy in 10 years AND are massively expensive is just not a reasonable investment

    How can Japan build a reactor in 36 month but we can’t? How can other countries finance favouribly nuclear power (nuclear is the energy source that most of all the others suffer discount rated) but we can’t?

    Nuclear gave France one of the cheapest electricity price in Europe, but we don’t want to retry because we don’t feel we can achieve it?

    Side note, solar panels have problems too as their carbon footprint could be 3 times higher than expected

        You mean the company the french state squished for profit for 2 decades and that during the pandemic has been forced to subsidized electricity prices for everyone?

            Ok but in the opposite direction you suggested

            You alluded to the fact it has been subsidized, but it’s the opposite, probably the program would be much better if EDF hadn’t been treated like a cash cow
