Delays and cost overruns are invariably due to regulation and politics run amok.
It's *not* a technology problem, but a people problem.
- tpm 4y agoAh yes, I've heard that one. Which is why I mentioned China. But also, it's not the technology that is building and running those projects, it's people, and in the foreseeable future, it will continue to be ran by people, so even if it is somehow a people problem that only happens for nuclear energy and not (or much less) for renewable energy, it is something that needs to be taken into account when planning for new energy sources.
