Agreed. Developing countries need clean and affordable energy

With initial cost of deployment being the biggest obstacle to nuclear, I'm not sure it will ever be the best green option for developing countries.

This is doubly true since it's lifetime cost-per-kwh is much higher than that of solar.

"Nuclear for me but not for thee".

The optimal temperature for solar panels to operate efficiently is typically around 25°C (77°F).

It is 34°C (93°F) at night.

Solar is so much cheaper than Nuclear and the efficiency sway is so reasonable, it's still the better option in non-ideal circumstances.
