      Trump reduced the “red tape” to build this so it might just be dangerous on its own

      Assuming it comes online in less than a decade and not drastically over budget

        Eh, the newest generation of reactors are actually really safe. It’s been a while since I’ve read up on them, but I believe that it’s impossible for some of them to meltdown.

        The red tape for building nuclear plants was based on the first few gen reactors, and needed to be reduced.

          Thoughtfully reduced and changed. I don’t trust that the red tape reduction in this case was thoughtful, though I will admit I haven’t looked myself. With all the shit being thrown at the wall it’s impossible to keep up, even though nuclear power generation is one of my areas of interest.
