    Nuclear is a lot of things, but one thing it is not is profitable. No country, not Russia, China, Japan, France etc has ever made it profitable. It is always subsidized.

      So? If you charged per ton of CO2 that was produced with fossil fuels and also didn’t subsidize their extraction they wouldn’t be profitable either? Neither would Air Travel. So what’s your point?

      Profitability means nothing for a common good. Nuclear has many unique characteristics that make it a better choice, especially in colder environments. People need energy.
