This encapsulates the public response to building nuclear. I guess that is why it is the first in decades.
To be clear, my comment isn't "the public response to building nuclear;" it's "the public response to corruptly financing nuclear on the backs of ratepayers while guaranteeing zero-risk profit for shareholders, despite incredible incompetence and cost overruns building the thing."
If you think that bullshit is inherent to building nuclear, I won't dispute it, but I will say it makes you even more cynical than me!
I would've had no problem with it at all if it weren't a fucking scam to gouge me for somebody else's profit.
