Everyone is now familiar with the idea of electric vehicles and electric heating, but hydrogen fuel is apparently the new thing being developed. See https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-5576335692.24.177.142 (talk) 16:55, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Issue of mass exploitation of slave labor in china[edit]
A comparison of prices over time for energy from nuclear fission and from other sources. Over the presented time, thousands of wind turbines and similar were built on assembly lines in mass production resulting in an economy of scale. Our World in Data notes that these costs are an effort to represent the global average. Which is driven by chinese forced labor practices in solar and wind, [1][2][3][4][5] that manufactured, installed and exported the most globally,[6][7] bankrupting US and German solar industries, multiple times, over the time indicated.[8][9] In which, the manufacturing of panels were suggested to be 30% of solar costs in the largest production facility in the west, before labor costs were included, which they argue China do not pay, upon declaring its bankruptcy.[10] While the 2 projects that drove average nuclear pricing upwards were 2 first of their kind AP1000s in the US/west. The organization recognises that the median cost of nuclear, the most exported and produced nuclear energy facility in the 2010s the 7 South Korean APR1400, remained "constant", including in export.[11] No data on the 18 Chinese domestic nuclear, CPR1000 were included. LCOE is a measure of the average net present cost of electricity generation for a generating plant over its lifetime. As a metric, it remains controversial as the lifespan of units are not independent but manufacturer projections, not a demonstrated longevity.

We can’t compete with slave labor.”
