"Are they worth investment? No"

 

I assume you think nuclear (both fission and fusion) is the solution everywhere on the planet, but you gotta consider things like poplutation density, if people live on islands, like in Indonesia. In those cases, transporting energy from nuclear power plants (you obvioulsy wouldn't have one nuclear plant for each island in Indonesia...) will be too expensive and a waste of money.

@bolded

I'm from Norway, we have enough power to cover our consumption, so we don't have a problem here, at all.

You've assumed wrong, but in retrpospect if every S-curve of exponential growth, stagnation and inevitable decline has to be replaced by another S-curve of growth I can't see better option than nuclear for the system as a whole, the fact that Iceland will be powered by geothermal energy won't make life of average Joe somewhere else any better.


You = Europe in general, I'm not taking into account some region-specific details.
