It works 24/7
- Teever 3y agoExcept it doesn't work for the 20 years that it takes to build a nuclear power plant.
- sickofparadox 3y agoSkill issue - overcome after we build a few and streamline the onerous permitting process.
- Teever 3y agoThat will still take at least 20 years.
- sickofparadox 3y ago"A society grows great when old men plant trees in whose shade they shall never sit." Long term investment into the future is a good thing.
- Teever 3y agoI agree with that sentiment but do we have 20 years to spend waiting to stave off climate change?
- sickofparadox 3y agoI'm not saying to only build nuclear, but it'll certainly help us out down the line, and not building it is almost certainly far worse than the potential of it being slow to build.
- agent327 3y agoOh, is it 20 now? Strange that the US does so much worse than the global average, which is 6-8 years. Is it a competency issue, you think?
- jonhohle 3y agoIt amazes me how we could do things so quickly in the past (e.g. build a nuclear power plant, get to the moon). Shippingport was built in 4 years.
