    Nuclear is one of the most expensive sources of electricity. I grew up near a nuclear power plant, and it had so many incidents it seemed like it was shut down more often than it was running. One incident involved corrosion almost completely eating through the containment, which sounds pretty scary to me, but I’m not a nuclear technician.

      Maybe if you don’t factor in the external cost. Coal is cheap but it’s fucking up people’s health and the climate. Which nuclear power plant was that?
