It only takes 7 years to build a nuclear plant, and "ballooning costs" only arise due to people being afraid of and simultaneously dependant upon nuclear power once it's built. There wouldn't be ballooning costs if the power plants were built and then decommissioned according to schedule. The increased costs come from maintaining plants for far longer than necessary.
I want to experience (i.e. read about) the drama but I don't want to give Reddit my traffic. I assume I'm not alone in that driving some Reddit based discussions here.
