Solar now being the cheapest energy source made its rounds on Lemmy some weeks ago, if I remember correctly. I just found this graphic and felt it was worth sharing independently.

indeed. also chernobyl and fukushima aren’t comparable, really. I’d support a law that all new power reactors need to have passive cooling relying on the laws of physics, not relying on external power, but that’s not a high bar and many designs already have it. remember that most currently operating reactors were built all at once in the mid 20th century and even then their safety record has been great. we can do better with new construction
