2024-10-14 Nuclear Power Could Solve US Electricity Needs. But At What Cost?

Quote: “”Is building new nuclear plants possible?
The chief question is: Can it be done in time and at a cost consumers can afford? History says, “no.” “”

New nuclear is much too expensive – they have multi-Billion dollar cost overruns.  New nuclear takes too long to build – they have had decade long construction delays.  The biggest reason to not build new nuclear is solar or wind with battery energy storage costs a fraction of nuclear cost and can be built in 2 years.  And there is no ongoing cost for fuel.
