Their ‘True Energy Cost’ bar chart is somewhat biased against nuclear. It always makes me laugh when I see so called scientific analysis like this with its ‘infinite risk’ poking out the top of the graph with the radioactive symbol next to it. Also giving nuclear its own bar is scary red to show the total cost. Why doesn’t it just have it in the green ‘external cost’ section.

The risks from nuclear are well known and quantifiable. There are way more deaths from coal, or hydro electric

Geothermal is hardly risk free either, adding to seismic risks and polluting water supplies
