With Vogtle expansion costing over $15B per gw, that is $6000+ per fed person, before counting the cost of importing uranium from Russia.

Also without storing the nuclear waste.
or security costs, including the promised good time of civil war that get's floated around.
6000$ to "feed" every X minutes that it takes to microwave to microwave a turkey. This plant cook 2.5 million turkey in parrallel.
Corporate propaganda power!
Now calculate how many generations of turkeys will be eaten till the waste stops killing people
Edit: can't believe how many people here are falling for nuclear. Have you all learned nothing from what companies did with fossil fuels? Taking the profits and leaving humanity with a fucked up world? And now you are falling for the same stuff with nuclear again, I assume this is the discourse in america which is so scewed? Here in Europe people are not that naive... Even the ones in France, which is quite into nuclear are reasonable and see the waste problem normally.
And here on Lemmy people really come and say "nuclear waste isn't dangerous, it didn't kill anyone"
Wtf people?!
Things lemmy loves: imperial propaganda, corporate propaganda, genocide, joe and kamala, liberalism, blaming (non)voters, anti-russian racism, etc.
Still better than reddit.
