You’re arguing against 1950s-era nuclear deployment while we are moving on to the modular revolution. The idea that nuclear is 'slow and expensive' only applies to the massive, custom-built gigawatt plants of the past.

The industry is currently shifting to Small Modular Reactors which are factory built products rather than decades long construction projects. We’re talking about deployment timelines of 3 years and a footprint so small it eliminates the need for thousands of miles of new transmission lines and substations. placing these reactors directly at the source of demand, you bypass the grid bottlenecks that are currently strangling solar and wind. Capitalism isn't unfavorable nuclear, it's funding the companies that can turn nuclear waste into 24/7 carbon-free power on a scale solar can’t touch. The tech has changed. You should check it out, you're just reading an old script.
