So, cut the red tape which makes building a new nuclear power plant take 15 years, standardise on a few type-approved installations, get enough battery storage built to replaced most peaker plants. Do it already, stop this endless discussion which has led nowhere for the last 30-40 years.

Or revisit an idea from the 60s, updated with modern technology, and start series-producing large reactors.

The current industry has a voracious appetite for power. There are a variety of solutions capable of cleanly supplying it (solar, wind, nuclear).

What's missing is the shared infrastructure investment and guaranteed revenue stream contracts to link the two. This is where government industrial policy has historically and successfully stepped in (e.g. shipyards, railroads, electrification, interstate system, heavy press, etc).

Hell, guarantee waived species environmental inspections as part of the government's contribution.

Vogtle had massive cost and time over runs because the modular design didn't deliver on efficiency, it did the opposite by having modules show up on site that needed rework. But the project management couldn't be allowed to factor that in because it would've shown everybody that you can't do this stuff on time and on budget.

Unless you can demonstrate that those problems are solved, there is no credibility to nuclear power. It doesn't need to be an endless discussion, the discussion has concluded that nuclear power is too expensive and too late to be relevant.
