    Again you are arguing a strawman. I am talking about costly repairs and cost / time overruns when constructing them. Nuclear reactors are just not making any economic sense 🤷

      You’re using ONE example to say the entire industry is full of shoddy work and overruns, when I’ve already described several mechanisms that artificially balloon the costs in the first place. You can continue to pretend you’re correct, but you’re simply not.

        There are endless examples. Just look up recent delays in the reactor under construction in the UK, or the hugely delayed and overly expensive one recently completed in Finland.

        There is no artificial balooning, quite the contrary. These contracts always go to the lowest bidder who then proceeds doing shoddy work and later blackmails the government for more money to complete the works.
