"President Joe Biden’s administration on Wednesday finalized approval of $1.1 billion to help keep California’s last operating nuclear power plant running. "

Because renewable energy sources are too expensive?

Nuclear is an important stop gap in the process of replacing fossil fuels.

Trouble is, we're now so short of time that there's probably little benefit from making loads of new nuclear plants as they take too long to build.

    A top gap cant take 10 years to build, its faster, more efficient and more economically to just go straight to renewables 100% shure, already standing ones don't need to be shut down, but we shouldn't focus on making new ones and decommission those that get too old (seriously looking at France here)
