    Good luck building enough capacity in nuclear power to do that. Nuclear plants tend to be a lot more expensive and take a lot longer to build than anticipated.

      Literally only in the US and Europe. Remove the profit motive and don’t keep on inefficient construction companies and it’s a quick process.

        There’s no profit motive for large scale carbon capture anyway, so big CC plants and big nuclear plants would need the same political will.

          Sure, China. You can build a nuclear power plant from dirt to operation in 6 months. Not 10 years plus infinite overages, 6 months.

          If there’s not a perverse profit motive at every stage and instead people are rewarded for getting the job done and getting the job done right, you end up with high quality fast engineering.
