Quoted from Travish:Solar and wind farms drive the cost. I'm already paying to much for "avoided costs".

Don't forget. 3 mile island.
Chernobyl melt down.
Fukushima earthquake.
Bad things happen. As a collective humans need to use these terrible events as a means to learn and move on. If we don't we'll never get anywhere. Imagine if the people working on Challenger had reacted like this. Since these events Nuclear energy has become one of the most efficient and SAFEST methods for producing electricity. I'd suggest you look into recent research instead of fearing something from the 80s.
Heck, if you look into Chernobyl itself you'd realize they knew a meltdown was imminent long before it happened and chose to do nothing to prevent it. Because of "avoiding costs".
