    Expensive to build much cheaper to run. Doesn’t take much time at all at the scale of the electrical grid for it to pay itself off.

      If this were true, the levelized cost of nuclear energy would be much lower than it is:

      Nuclear is expensive to build and expensive to run.

      In France, they are expensive to build and expensive to maintain… And you need to buy stuff from Russia to keep them running…
