[–] GrayBackgroundMusic@lemmy.zip 1 point 3 months ago (1 child) open to change my mind on this OK, here's a starting point https://youtu.be/cbeJIwF1pVY permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] einfach_orangensaft@sh.itjust.works [S] 3 points 3 months ago Ok i gave this the benefit of the doubt and watched the whole video. Things there where not included in the calculation: Cost of compensating for environmental destruction from uran mines (and health care costs for thost impacted by the radio active dust from them) Political cost of importing fissile fuel from other nations (importing from russia/usa gives russia/usa leverage over you wich then can get expensive in other parts of the economy) Cost at end of plant life cycle, aka building it back once the structure has aged beyond what maintenance can fix Cost of storing and maintaining radio active waste for the next few million years The video also only compares those selective picked numbers to fossil fuels and not things like solar or wind. This video did not change my opinion, but thanks for suggesting it. permalink fedilink source parent
