I'm pro-nuclear but reality is you can commission, operate and decommission a PV farm or a wind farm in less time than it takes to build and start a nuclear reactor. Excessive regulation is the reason, but it exists for a reason, too, and that reason isn't ecoterrorists, it's a rational fear that a major ef-up will make a piece of any country inhospitable for all intents and purposes forever.
