      Except we have better options than we did 10 years ago.

      I’d be all for nuclear if we rolled back the clock to 2010 or so. As it stands, solar/wind/storage/hvdc lines can do the job. The situation moved and my opinion moved.

      If you start building a new nuclear plant today, it’ll start generating power around the year 2045, by which time renewables with storage will have gotten even cheaper.

      Bet you the public will be on the hook to pay for that white elephant because utility companies privatize profits and socialize losses.
