I accumulate a lot of junk, and I'll dump some of it.
This is 'grandstanding' and not rational. A baby reactor as expensive as a real one, and no fuel.
Rationality cycles on and off. What happens is that we get so prosperous with rational policies, that we have a desire to chew off our toes. Then, the populists come in.
I was in a rational cycle at the old company. For a short time, everybody was listening to me. We were going full blast on electrical infrastructure, more transmission lines, and I was scouting all the sites for the next large nuclear plant. It was wonderful, and then the commies came into power. After them, the near-commies had their fun.
They destroyed Ontario. We could have had abundant cheap electricity, and done the whole China thing. If the US wanted to destroy our industries, we could have said "Enjoy paying for electricity, bioch."
In Ontario, we are still in a 'grandstanding' phase, housing was pushed by the 'friend of developers', and now we are crushed under the overhang. Nuclear is run by "The Stupid Factory", since they outsource everything. I've done all the details before.
We have to starve before rationality comes back. Carney does his best, but he is in a 'thick' ocean. I just watch and laugh.
