It is good that we did not buy a Japanese nuclear power plant


"A decline in the cost of electricity from wind turbines, solar panels and other renewable technologies has raised questions about whether nuclear power is worth the investment. Batteries that store electricity when the wind and sunshine are lacking have become commercially feasible, though supply-chain problems have recently held back their deployment.

"Why not just develop more renewable energy, which is safer and cheaper and much faster to build? It doesn't make any sense," said Mark Jacobson, a professor of civil and environmental engineering at Stanford University. "Storage adds cost, but the cost is trivial relative to new nuclear."" [1]
