    What does italy’s prospects for nuclear power look like? Buying fuel from France and reactors from Westinghouse that come up 10x over budget and 50 years behind schedule?

      Germany, UK and the Netherlands also produce nuclear fuel. There are also South Korean designs around, which might be an option.

      But seriously it would probably be a lot cheaper to go to solar and wind combined with storage.

        I suspect so; China has better conditions and need for nuclear than any other country, and so far its not even 5%, and they’re only planning to triple it by 2035.

        France got lucky they didn’t stop building reactors when everyone else did and benefitted for the last 40 years, but wind and solar have just gotten so cheap.

    Incredible how the vibe towards nuclear Herr seems to be the total opposite to the eruope subreddit.
