Exactly. There’s a reason no insurance company wants to take on nuclear power plants and countries have to.
In Germany, the state paid for all the research and development and then gave it to the companies for free. Then they massively subsidised the construction of the plants. Then the private companies got to reap the profits while the plants were running. And now the government is stuck with the bill for decommissioning. Totally not a racket.
Easy: don’t decommission.
Plenty of really dumb takes here but this one takes the cake. Congratulations.
That’s only if you assume we all agree that nuclear energy is a threat to humanity.
