This kind of colossal waste of time and money on failed nuclear power projects is, of course, the more typical story than the myths spun in the press about the need for “low carbon” nuclear energy, a misleading representation used to argue for nuclear power’s inclusion in climate change mitigation.
In reality, the story of nuclear power development in the US over the last 50 years is beyond pitiful and would not pass muster under any “normal” business plan. How the nuclear industry gets away with it remains baffling. - CounterPunch

Gosh ... I always thought that nuclear power plants was a bipartisan issue ... the current House bill H.R.4024 - Zero-Emission Nuclear Power Production Credit Act of 2021 has 5 Republican and 16 Democrat sponsors ... and surely, you must remember the bipartisanship exhibited by Erik Paulsen and Tim Walz when MN State Representative Mike Obermueller, DFL-Eagan got the House to pass a moratorium on new nuclear power plant construction ?
