It's about time.
If I'm not mistaken the main issue with building nuclear power plants is a relative lack of qualified workers to operate the plants more than the actual cost of construction (although that is very high). That's a big reason why China is "only" building 28 reactors (obviously that's a lot, but considering China's size...) at the moment instead of going nuts like they did with dams.

It's about time.
The climate change summit is already shaping to be darkly humorous. On the one hand there's France saying poo poo is hosed unless we act but on the other hand they're also doing this:



"The mighty of the world gathered in Paris". I want to print it for future generations to see.

I joke, but another French TV channel showed a report on the impact of climate change on agricultural yields (in France) in the future. It's all going downhill except for (maybe) rice. The production of wheat, for instance, will decrease by 6% for each degree above present temperatures . The anchorperson followed that up by saying that truffles would spread northward. Yay.
