Hello, r/uninsurable! Would you like to become a sister sub of r/nuclearpower?
I'm a mod over there and (unlike the purely circlejerking and discussion-suppresing r/nuclear) a proper fact-based discussion over nuclear power would be very welcome on r/nuclearpower.
Especially as many (not all!) users of r/nuclearpower have pretty one-sided and ideological views on that topic, so your perspective would be welcome to add some more views and break up circlejerking tendencies.
Just please keep it fact-based. Also it would be really great if you cold provide reliable sources for controversial claims.
Apart from that, please do engage in productive discussions!

How come France’s electricity prices are lower than Germany’s? Should they be higher because of the cost of their nuclear power plants?
