The reason nuclear plants take so long to build is because there is so much ignorant opposition to them. The same roadblocks that caused our global housing crisis get in the way of building clean nuclear energy.
Even if that's true, what's your plan to fix it? You cannot ignore NIMBYs. You need a plan.
the plan is to neuter the NIMBYs power. same problem as housing. you have to defeat the NIMBYs because they're the problem and getting rid of the problem is the solution
