Is new nuclear cheaper than new batteries for 24/7 power?

[UltraSane]

If built by South Korea or China then yes. If built by the US then probably not. But three mile island is already built.

China's building a lot more solar than nuclear. You'd think if nuclear was cheaper it would be the other way around.

[UltraSane]

They are still building lots of nuclear reactors including liquid salt thorium reactors. They aren't irrationally scared of nuclear energy.

[triceratops]

Yes but they're building more solar. Which they wouldn't do if, as you claimed, nuclear was cheaper.
