NYC planned the 3rd avenue subway line and it was finished a few years ago - 100 years after it was first seriously proposed. That is not a typo nor is it hyperbole.
I Brought the vogtle reactor up recently in the discord and i am not a renewable guy. Why is the US example ridiculous? Its simply reality in their market and the same if not even worse is true for West/mid Europe.
What are the biggest cost differences? Waiting time for permits? Materials? Inspections? The construction itself? Are korean/chinese and Western reactors equally safe?
I dont think china is taking building nuclear reactor construction as a joke but on the other Hand chinese constructions (including Hospitals and skyscrapers) have had their time in the press in the past ;)
I dont See chinese being allowed building reactors in the West in 6,5years. And you did not consider the arguments of replacement of the existing Fleet. Especially in the west
California can't even get train tracks built.
