I love nuclear but China is building them as fast as they can and they're still being massively outpaced by their own solar installations. If we hadn't shut down most of the research and construction in the 80's it would have been great, but it's not going to be a solution to the huge power requirement growth from EVs and shit like AI in the "short" term of 1-20 years.

It's important to keep in context who is building them, how they're being built, and with what oversight they are built.

We are in no way perfect in the west but we are easily a century ahead in insuring build quality and regulatory oversight.
