  • Probably an economic stillbirth.

    Even if Niger weren’t as unstable as it unfortunately is right now, nuclear power is still by far the most expensive conventional way to generate electricity… Here in Germany, the conservatives are once again floating plans to revive nuclear power “just for the heck of it.” But hardly any investors want to get involved because it simply isn’t profitable without massive government subsidies (for which there’s no money), and renewables will have pushed nuclear power out of the grid in 30 years anyway (if the first plants are even built by then).

    I can hardly imagine that things would be any different on a continent as sunny as Australia.
