Orrrr less money and time could be spent overall and the wide variety of sources that can be built should be built and will cover baseload requirements.

When the other option is to spend a decade waiting for heavy manufacturing infrastructure to be expanded for nuclear components then still not produce or assemble enough parts by 2050 to replace the coal plants in America and have wasted 30 years waiting for nuclear instead of building fast cheap renewables, nuclear very quickly becomes a worthless choice

Speaking of scale and viability, let me know when there’s enough manufacturing for nuclear power components to replace all the plants being closed this decade from age 😊 then let me when when there’s enough for a net increase 😊

Because until then they’re still closing nuclear plants faster then they’re building them
