A comment for the YouTube video
This video portrays nuclear energy as the cheapest. But I can’t see how that can be. They say that nuclear costs $.02 /kWh. I don’t think they count all the energy inputs and costs. With oil we have a “Well to Wheels” measure of all costs, from well to the wheels. The nuclear fuel is sold to utlities at a huge subsidy by the US government. That’s hiding the fact that it is costing the taxpayers a huge amount to process the uranium for fuel.
Also, the cost of storing spent fuel must be included. It can’t be stored in containers for years because it generates too much heat. It must be stored underwater in pools cooled to prevent the water from boiling away and the fuel turning into another Fukushima.
Another problem with nuclear power is the utilities are unwilling to spend ten billion or more to build a power plant. Altogether the various issues with nuclear power have prevented nuclear power from building new plants for decades. And as was said, it is not renewable energy.
