Exiting nuclear power early was wrong. Wasting trillions on handouts from taxpayer money on new built nuclear power today is wrong. Just look at the French:

Flamanville 3 is 7x over budget and 13 years late on a 5 year construction schedule.

The subsidies for the EPR2 are absolutely insane. 11 cents/kWh fixed price and interest free loans. The earliest possible completion date for the first reactor is 2038.

France is wholly unable to build any new nuclear power as evidenced by Flamanville 3 and the EPR2 program.

As soon a new built nuclear costs and timelines face the real world it just does not square with reality.

Even the refurbs of existing nuclear have high price tags.

France keeps upping estimates for their refurbs and Ontario just announced price hikes to refurb theirs and mess around with SMRs.
