  1. And they will all be built in time and within the expected price.

  2. Germany should be happy. There will be enough power on the grid to keep their economy at least somewhat alive.

  3. It should become operational in 2036… That’s still a pretty long time until then. And it’s definitely going to be delayed, so maybe 2040?

    Nuclear energy is great, especially years / decades back. It was by far the cheapest “green” energy. But in 2040? If the advancements of solar panels and wind mills etc keep going, these nuclear reactors are going to be much more expensive than other forms of green energy. I think it’s already more expensive than other green energy sources, let alone in 2040.

    But I guess it’s definitely better than nothing. Hopefully they’ll be build soon and are very stable.

  4. How about invest that humongous amount of money and just invest in renewables? More energy, faster, cleaner, cheaper and decentralized.

  5. These only get built with bribes now unless they are state owned and subsidised. Checkout bankrupt EDF to see what happens to companies that build nuclear.

  6. remindes me of the “you gotta spend money to save money” meme. build 3 plants and get 1 for free.

  7. This reads like the people that go on shopping spree on the promotions to save 25% by buying more but then end up overspending.

  8. I dont know why czech needs 4. Its is a small country. Surely this has to be some EU/german proxy investment?
