Don’t pay this! You just reinforce their predatory practices. How renewals at much higher prices are allowed - no clue!
Something similar happened to a company I know - it expired and was immediately bought by domain squatters, when they found them they were told that it couldn’t be sold back because the squatter had paid $XXXX for and had big plans (I assume it was BS, just a premise to get paid - no site was ever put on the domain)
Solution: they bought the .org version and bought the .com back a year later.

I haven’t watched the video - so I’m going on what is said above, but its like these billionaires are not seeing people as human. They see that after Hiroshima people live in the city but cannot understand that those people weren’t fungible. We didn’t replace them - they are different people.
Two other small points, but first a caveat - I’m very pro civil nuclear power.
It simply isn’t possible for any nuclear power plant to explode like a nuclear bomb. That can’t happen - like my car contains an engine but can’t fly like a plane. There have been nuclear leaks and chemical explosions in nuclear plants - these are bad. However, they are very different things from what happened to Japan.
Modern nuclear weapons would have much higher yields and probably fallout. Here’s a terrifying tool for the morbidly curious:
