"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?

Now do cumulative subsidies over the last 80 years. Nuclear had its shot and failed.
Please read my other comment here https://feddit.nl/comment/6219531 But the TLDR of where I’m going is: This subsidy is barely leveling up the playing field between fossil fuels and nuclear. Even if we do a cumulative comparison between the two, fossil fuels had got much more, order of magnitude even. Not a single nuclear plant that was shut down in the US was replaced by renewables. They were all replaced by new fossil gas or energy imports generated by coal.
Nobody cares about these points. Instead we care about getting away from power sources that threaten our future.
Which are fossil fuels and fossil fuels alone:
So, you’re then saying that nuclear is somehow more threatening to our future than fossil energy is? Wow. Thanks for being clear where you stand I guess.
Just for the record: fossil fuels not only change our planet’s climate, it also kills millions of people each year due to air pollution.
