Precisely why the Netherlands does not have nuclear power plants. Cheap coal. Cheap oil. Cheap gas. And now cheap wind and solar.

They just absolutely cannot math the math which leaves ideology and this ain't France.

That math leaves out externalities when pricing gas, oil and coal. You may have heard of a few fires going on in Europe in addition to nuclear plants shutting down?

Beyond that, those resources are also the lifeline for a dictatorship in the east causing increase defense spending.

There definitely is no such thing as cheap gas, oil or coal for Europeans, all things considered
