I don’t need to cite any specific one because it’s obvious they’re being created and it’s obvious they’d increase cost.

You look like a fool.

Maybe one day you'll come to appreciate the irony on display here but I somehow doubt it.

Last thing and then I'm done with you:

To recap, you asserted that red tape and regulations are preventing nuclear from being competitive.

OK, fair enough. I asked for just a single example of a regulation that could be done away with and that would reduce costs in a meaningful way as it's pretty much your entire argument.

You haven't been able to do this.

You lose, I'm done with you for real now. Have a nice weekend.

Clearly this is due to increased regulations

So name one.

As we've established, you can't. You're not a serious person and so I'm not going to waste any more of my time on you.

You're like every other nuclear bro I've interacted with; no amount of evidence, logic, or facts will persuade you because you didn't use those to come to your present position. You're a Japanese holdout, still flighting the war long after your side lost.

Oh, but it's regulations, you say. That pesky red tape that I can't cite even once even though it definitely 100% is because that's what my feels tell me.

I expect to see you again in another nuclear discussion saying the same shit you're saying now and you'll probably still be saying it even after the last reactor on earth is decommissioned.

I could use some help with the metric shit ton of chicken biryani I made a couple of days ago.

The fact that it costs more and takes longer in the US

Not a fact. Hinckley C in the UK is facing similar cost and time overruns.

I don’t need to know which ones those are to know that’s true.

You absolutely do if you don’t want anyone capable of rational thought to think you’re full of shit.

Triggered fragile snowflake.

What a charmer.

Also, he's a deadbeat dad.

As I said, “If you have any regulations that could be done away with in a safe manner and would make a sizable difference to the cost then cite them.”

If you can’t do that, just say so.

Nuclear is cheap and safe:

Your sources don't mention anything about price, unless I'm missing something.

Great input.

Meanwhile you just trot out the usual nonsense about how we would all be living in a glorious nuclear utopia if it wasn't for those pesky oil companies while providing no proof yourself.

The bottom line is that if nuclear could compete on price then we would be building more nuclear but it's just not competitive. If you have any regulations that could be done away with in a safe manner and would make a sizable difference to the cost then cite them.

Israel has the US in its pocket, meanwhile there are plenty of hawks in the US who would love to go after Iran so there's a huge imbalance. Iranian military responses are carefully choreographed to show defiance and stop short of escalation whilst Israel is running around doing whatever the hell it wants and ignoring the US.

You’re being downvoted, as is tradition, but you’re right.

I believe it. They’re primarily using missiles that take a predictable, ballistic arc, which makes them very easy for the Iron dome system to intercept. Furthermore, Iran’s responses so far have seemed very carefully measured so that only a few missiles get through the iron dome. Based on previous strikes, it seems like they could overwhelm Israel just through sheer numbers, yet they haven’t.

Here's a decent article on this:
