If you apply the typical life cycle costs to our current law decreed nuke plants, they are not a good investment. There is better tech out there, but we are not able to use them.

The biggest issue is what to do with the waste. Nuke plants make a huge amount of deadly waste that needs to be stored forever. That makes them a poor bet for most places.

Full discloser, I like nukes. The life cycle costs are just really, really, high.

Why not just drop it off in the Marianas Trench?
