The real costs are not being addressed

The costs of nuclear are addressed all the time.

The problem is the nuke fanbois either ignore the costs or hand-wave them away: "Nuclear is only expensive because of protests and regulations. Next time will be different. Blah, blah, blah."

Even without considering the costs of waste and accidents, nuclear costs four times as much as wind or solar and has a 20-year lead time.

Tens of thousands of barrels of toxic waste were dumped near Catalina Island, but the vast majority are non-radioactive chemical waste.

DDT leaking from the barrels is a much bigger problem than nuclear waste and shows up in the local sea lion population.

Anyway, there's nothing realistic that we can do about it since any attempt to retrieve the barrels will likely make things worse.

Im a bit worried it might be too wide but I do like the idea of a smaller phone that expands into a fairly capable iPad mini. I never understood the Samsung obsession with the clamshell design, that doesn't give me much flexibility... and the tri-fold just seemed a bit too much when I saw it in person. I haven't seen a folding phone that had dimensions I could live with day to day.
