Do some research into Japans track record on building Nuclear. They’re one of the few countries that didn’t let green peace idiots ruin their regulatory bodies so they’re still able to build nuclear plants in the same amount of time it takes to build a coal burning plant.
- mikeyouse 4y agoThey’re going to spend well over $100B and potentially up to $1T cleaning up Fukushima.. either figure would’ve been better spent on literally anything else.. hard to call Japan’s nuclear regulatory backdrop a success story. And I’m sorry, there’s absolutely no chance that the next reactor is built in under a decade. Working on Vogtle bankrupted Toshiba’s nuclear unit.
- pfdietz 4y agoThis is an interesting take when regulatory capture enabled TEPCO to keep operating those plants that melted down even in the face of what should have been clearly dangerous compromises. People who complain about nuclear regulation are really just saying "let us have some meltdowns, they aren't really that bad." That's also why they go on saying mixed up nonsense about radiation hormesis.
