    And trying to make nuclear projects a conservative bait and switch is one hell of a reach.

    You have not noticed the conservative agenda to push nuclear instead of renewables? Once again, it allows us to keep using oil for 10 more years.

    Nuclear has been neglected for 50 years while renewables have advanced at lightning speed. There was a case for nuclear in the past. There no longer is. I believe it is even way more expensive to build nuclear these days.

    Besides being cheaper, there is no more nuclear explosion risk, and can be deployed right now instead of in 10 years. Renewables are obviously the way to go. This was different in the past. It no longer is.
