.@AlexEpstein explains how America abandoned nuclear energy: "Since the establishment of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in 1975, we only started conceiving and completing reactors in 2023, which are the Vogtle plants in South Carolina." "There was nothing that went from conception to completion from 1975 til 2023, but with 10x cost overruns." "We've lost arguably 50 years of potential progress because in the late 60s, nuclear was by many estimates the cheapest form of electricity and the safest."
