    Ok but how viable are those renewables? In Louisiana, dispite all of our water and river, hydroelectric power is impossible, because the elevation is to gradual. In normal weather new orleans is often cloudy for solar panels on a large scale.

    The point I am saying is that cost doesn’t account for a lot of things

      The market absolutely accounts for those things.

      If renewables are more expensive in your specific area than nuclear, then that makes sense for your area.

      This isn’t like choosing a path in a video game. We can do all the things.
