The problem with nuclear plants is approval time, and that takes forever and a half because nobody wants one in their backyard. When one does get approved everyone dogpiles on it trying to get concessions.

Nuclear isn't done, it's just having a PR problem.

That’s simply untrue. Look at VC Summer and Vogtle, both approved, both with willing and suppprtive neighbors. One abandoned at a cost of $7-$10B, the other at 2x budget with more cost overruns likely.

Well, when they're the subject of a federal racketeering lawsuit, this could very well have been a casino or a stadium.
