Nuclear Energy is incredibly expensive and has a lot of other issues like long term waste storage. It's arguably better than Coal and Gas but the KEY to decarbonisation is and always will be renewables. The Headline is rather misleading in that regard.

Anyways, solar is also cheaper

> Long term waste storage

This is pretty far from the truth. Exactly One Swimming Pool is all that is needed to store the entire "waste" for a country.

If you don't recycle it.

Or if you don't put it concrete.
