And how would nuclear electricity compete with coal electricity today?
Personally, I think it is preferable. But a lot of people don't agree,
including, it seems, the Chinese.
I just meant that after oil is gone, and perhaps before it, people will
burn anything to keep warm, with little-to-no regard for the climate.
(So will I, frankly.) Nuclear would be preferable to coal, but nuclear's
errors are disproportionally magnified compared coal's. A
Chernobyl-scale meltdown in the West would probably kill it for a long,
long time.
