It would be interesting to compare the cost of all nuclear cleanup, vs the cleanup costs of all the oil spills

That's fair. But we're not talking about nuclear vs fossil fuels. Nuclear is obviously better than anything carbon.

The debate is nuclear vs solar, wind, and hydro and how the case for nuclear is framed as "ack-chually, nuclear is better than renewables and would cost less if only those damned tree-hugging libs would get over their irrational fears"

True. I guess I still see a constant power source as a requirement, so the comparison to green energy doesn't even matter at this point, but it's the goal.

My comment was more curiosity than disagreement
