Maximally 10 extra years and waste of a lot of labor and money that could be put into building and developing nuclear power plants and more renewables.

- ben_w 5y ago10 more years is needed if you want nuclear. Possibly also batteries, but that’s harder for me to estimate — we’ve got the price down, but we need way more volume.

Chernobyl 1 began and completed construction in the same year! Has our technology gotten worse since then? Or is it just permits and bureaucracy impeding us?
