curious what makes you think nuclear is scaleable? Things I've read lately says even if you wanted to build a bunch, it's going to be a very long time to get them built. Though I'd expect with serious investment lead times would reduce, but I'm picking that's going to be decades of time.
No, I'm questioning why they believe Nuclear can scale to solve this problem. I'm not against using it, I'm just saying from what I know, this may not be practical. I'd be interested in seeing an analysis of whether this is achievable and what its impact would be. I'm all for trying, but I'd like to know how effective it would be.
A more charitable view is that US nuclear power projects have historically been very slow to build, with massive cost overruns (2-10x), which scares off investors. That makes it not a good use of the limited political capital of environmental activism.
