I’m a huge fan of nuclear.
That said, this is a great example of what may happen in the midst of a widespread, government push for it. Industry will extract as many concessions as possible to meet a “market” and “climate” need. They know they hold the cards and will maximize their return.
And this gets to a lot of challenges related to climate policy. It’s not so much that folks disbelieve in climate science (although some do). It’s that there are real costs to doing something about it which have deep financial and policy implications. That’s the crux of pushback.
