In my country, we already have 2.5 plants active. The problem now with this anti nuclear stance is:
We have found a significant deposit of uranium, but we can’t use it because uneducated activists and politicians protested when we tried to mine it so they banned ourselves from mining it because “radioactivity”.
It could power us for close to no cost for 50+ years but noo we will continue to buy expensive gas and electricity. Great
Is it to build or operate?

Been a while since I’ve read about it, I think it was 30-year levelized cost (build + operation/waste management). Looking again, there seems to be a lot of variation between studies: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cost_of_electricity_by_source#Global_studies.
