    Plus time. My perspective was that building a new nuclear power industry and any significant number of reactors would take too long: we need to have fixed climate change in less time.

    So seven “small” reactors over the next eleven years …… faster than I expected but still takes decades to make a noticeable difference.

      Is more than we’ve built in the last 40. And, assuming energy demands continue to accelerate, I doubt they’ll be the last seven reactors these companies construct.
