    That is a staggering price, but unfortunately it’s needed. We can’t keep using gas as a base load forever, and batteries are not ready, we don’t have that kind of capacity.

    Costs for nuclear have spiralled because we stopped investing in it a long time ago, and we lost expertise on how to build it. Thanks, Thatcher. Truly you are the gift that keeps on giving.
