A comment on Why are nuclear power construction costs so high?. Parent comment
Given the progress (or lack of it) with the EPRs[0], I don't think "now" is something nuclear can claim to deliver on.
If we'd started planning dozens of reactors a decade ago, perhaps - but we didn't.
Nuclear simply isn't any kind of "quick fix", by a long stretch.
