Your making the argument that nuclear is not a heating option because gas is cheaper.

If we’re going for the cheapest option, then why not fuck the planet completely and all burn coal?



My argument is that nuclear is a different of energy compared to gas when used for heating. Sonce gas for heating is the tipic at hand, this distinction is quite important. And nowhere did I mention price. I talked about how converting electricity to heat is highly inefficient and will cost nore to heat the same building than gas. Nuclear only factors into that as much as it factors into a given electrical energy generatuon mix.


Converting gas to heat is just as inefficient as converting electricity to heat
