How is that relevant?
One could apply it to the situation?

Freebeard tried floating opportunity costs. In context, what does that really mean?
Same as any other context. Do you find it hard to empathize with other people?

If nuclear power (electricity generation) had its major cons eliminated, that'd be great. Radioactive waste, finite fuel source, ... safety, and ... safety are the big ones that come to mind.
I could research this and document it, but it's late. Just research and you will find that newer (4th and 5th gen) reactors can eat high-level waste, operate more efficiently at higher temps, and Thorium is abundant. IIRC the thorium in coal could produce more power than burning it.
