Sure. And by the time we have one reactor finished in 20 years and 200% over budget we’ll be completely powered by renewables in that time.

This is the real problem. We shouldn't shut down existing nuclear plants, but adding more in a period when renewables are advancing at a tremendous pace is just... not sensible.

Especially as the cost per megawatt of renewables is dropping precipitously and the cost of nuclear is actually going up

We shouldn’t shut down existing nuclear plants

It's currently more expensive to get a MW from a fully paid for nuclear plant than to get one from a new solar plant.

What is still not a reason to shut the nuclear one down, but we are getting pretty close.
