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.

4% of wealth in America is owned by billionaires.

Where is that?

Financing is available for solar installations.

From the summary:

The entire camera weighs less than 3 pounds and contains a few grams of copper and less than a milligram of gold.

Last year, America's automobile exports were worth $54B.

It could be a case of confusing correlation with causation.

People who are easily confused and have trouble paying attention to the road will choose other professions.

The best solution is to fire all blind police officers and hire police officers who can read and verify license plates before pulling anyone over.

It is a hash of the actual file.

To be fair, I don't see Brian saying it is free.

The freeness claim appears to have been added by Slashdot editors.

This is about electing the governor.

It is a statewide election, so gerrymandering is irrelevant.

Same with my Toyota Innova.

I have to tap "Agree" before I can use the car.

After tapping "Agree", it turns on the radio, so I also have to turn that off again. Every time.

I'm not sure what I'm agreeing to, since the terms and conditions aren't listed on the screen.

Texas has plenty of wind and sunshine.

They should be installing wind turbines in the Panhandle and solar panels in the Trans-Pecos region.

Someone should explain supply and demand to Governor Abbott.

And people making predictions about those booms and busts have been wrong pretty much forever.

DeepSeek is doing exactly that.

DeepSeek is 30 times cheaper than OpenAI and delivers better results.

The reasons DeepSeek is cheaper are its use of less energy and the smart use of prompt caching.
