How many more years would you run a plant commissioned in the 1980's for?

A very long time with maintenance, upkeep many are going to have 60 year lifespans and theoretically 80-100 years. Some are planned for 80 years.

In the meantime, every day that goes by without building more, is the a day without the ability to walk away from Russian or Gulf oil.
