...so building that nuclear reactor would be a good thing since it will emit far less carbon than those natural gas generators (not to mention all the other pollution that nuclear plants do not emit). Hook the DC up to the grid and expand nuclear power to simultaneously accommodate the load and decommission fossil fuel plants. Wins all around.

OK, fine, but the DC construction cannot start until the nuclear plant is online.

(now you have two planning permission problems!)

		Indeed and frankly we are way behind schedule on building nuclear plants, mostly because of irrational fears about nuclear power safety.
