You make a good point about established hydro power being a licence to print
money Snoopy.
To wander off topic, some idiot is going to suggest "hey nuclear power is
cheap to run".
They are of course correct nuclear is cheap to run, but they fail to take into
account that the byproducts of this process are incredibly toxic and
difficult to dispose of. No country which has a nuclear power industry has an
economic or generally public accepted means of disposing the byproducts or
old reactors.
Any proposal to generate nuclear power will be uneconomic when shutdown costs
(which in reality are unquantifiable and open ended) are added in.
Boop-boop-de-do Marilyn
