Powering a city of a million on a square mile 24/7 with no particulate or carbon emissions and 2+ years of fuel on site is just too darn enticing!

  Don't forget it costs $30B and takes 20+ years to build!

    If you look at the absolute worst case of all time, sure! But why do that? Take a look at how the Koreans are doing building the 4 big APR-1400s in UAE, or how China is pounding out Hualong Ones, and Russia has fully serialized VVER production. Heck, Japan could build ABWRs in 36 months back in the 90s.

      Absolutely, just have to throw out OSHA, take land from people that own it without due process and ignore everything the EPA says. ... in all seriousness, it would be a lot more useful to compare what a developed country has been able to achieve.. even more useful is the country you're talking about. oh look - here you go: https://rogerpielkejr.substack.com/p/how-much-does-it-cost-to-build-a https://rogerpielkejr.substack.com/p/how-much-does-it-cost-t... http://euanmearns.com/how-long-does-it-take-to-build-a-nuclear-power-plant/ http://euanmearns.com/how-long-does-it-take-to-build-a-nucle...
