Nuclear is not happening in Europe and it never will, no matter how often conservative parties keep bringing it up. We have only two new build plants in Europe, Flamanville and Hinkley Point C. They are WAY more expensive than expected, no end in sight, way past the deadline. You can build like 80 gas power plants for the price of one of these monsters. And we’re not even talking about permanent storage of the eternal waste.
The only country working with new nuclear energy recently is China because they need to get off of coal fast. So they are subsidizing hard. And that’s only fraction of what they spend on new renewable, clean energy.
