Gotta get the "NO NUKES" crowd stirred up again............…They'll just come when they're finished at the latest climate change protest, or BLM march, or pro-abortion gathering, they're all the same protestors.

The last US nuclear power plant under construction is Georgia Power’s Vogtle property. Once estimated to cost $14 billion, the price tag has climbed past $30 billion, and both units will be more than six years late in coming online
Will TVA be able to build ANYTHING in the next 15 years? Everything from green propaganda to bloated progressive government regulation to loss of American worker skills to massive debt - means the USA has difficulty building any big projects any more.

The TVA. Anyone here remember the Weekly Reader? We read it in grade school-1964. I was fascinated by wonderful writeup they gave the project. Somewhere along the way the truth came out-boondoggle. Now they want to go nuclear? That’s like Princess Diana becoming an expert on land mines.

The Deep Staters in the EPA have rigged years, if not decades, of bureaucratic delays into the system. Even though nuclear power plants can be profitable, by delaying the breakeven point out into decades, the antinuke Deep Staters can discourage utility companies (or their stockholders) from going the nuclear route.

You are absolutely correct. Doing it to create a “zero carbon” economy is just nuts. But at least these nukes will have the ability to power the nation which wind and solar can never do.
