Yeah i'd prefer renewable energy.. but we've wasted too much time for that.

We are probably too late in general.

If that is your first thought, why would you even think of nuclear power as an alternative? Hinkley Point C "might" be finished 17 years after inception. If everything goes right from now on. For 9+ ct per kWh.

Ask about why it took so much time.

And consider how German wind farms look fine on net total, but can't provide power to south of Germany, so usually during max production time they pay Netherlands to shut off their wind farms and send the over produced power there.

If there was a real will to build low carbon power, we would be assembling both renewables and nuclear out of mass produced modules

WEll, it's my first thought, and i'm not energy expert.
