New nuclear plants are now probably 100 billion

 

30 years ago, we had a shock that Darlington was going to cost 10 billion.  But look at the price of houses since then -- up a factor of 10.  

We could put a tiny bit of that money into physics, and we would identify the coming ice cycle, and realize that this cost is cheap.  maybe.  Personally, if we blow this carbon thing with physics, then we can go all natgas.  I don't think we can actually build nuclear plants any more -- too much general stupidity around.
