I agree that nuclear power would have been great.

However it's no deficiency of planning.

It's down to public opinion and misguided regulation.

That's like a project manager blaming the missing of deadlines on "the opinion of certain people in the company and the bureaucracy within the company".

Not sure if that would fly.

Not sure that analogy holds.

No heroics from any project manager would eg let 1980s Ford stop selling internal combustion engines and go all-in-one electric cars. So any deadlines would be missed.

Better not to build one than building a nuclear power plant and then just not turning it on.

Zwentendorf was such a disaster.
