The commentary-paper Why investing in new nuclear plants is bad for the climate

I’m not sure I understand your stand. Are u implying nuclear power stations should be made even if not profitable?
I don’t think thats ehat he meant. He meant if renewables wouldn’t be profitable, then in a capitalist system they would rather go for nuclear energy even if renewables are better for our future.
This was my point. I’m glad renewables are getting more funding and becoming the predominant form of energy in the world. I just wish we would do things because it is good for society rather than good for shareholders.
Thanks! And that is a very fair point.
Yes. Same with renewables. Profit shouldn’t be a consideration when trying to save the world.
