Two hamsters on a treadmill could outperfom nuclear power 8-/

Nuclear is the biggest boondogle in electric generation history. And a huge fraction of that bloated cost is still hidden in externalities, as the overwhelming majority of all spent fuel is still sitting in "temporary" storage onsite with the reactor where it was used.

Geothermal aside, using money to increase grid storage is a vastly better investment than nuclear can ever be.
