"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?

    why is it okay for renewables to get so much subsidies

    Renewables are a nascent technology and promise a future that doesn’t leave a legacy of radioactive waste. Nor are nuclear power plants ripe targets for terrorist attacks. With the help of public investment, the cost of renewables has decreased significantly.

    In contrast, after decades of government support, the cost of nuclear power has not decreased.

    Save your time. Your support for nuclear is unfortunately preceded by decades of lies by other nuclear supporters.
