Sure, but that only works if we can actually get things like nukes built quickly and efficiently. I don't think we can replace pipelines with renewables alone.. we need a lot of power for heat in the winter and solar isn't as productive in the winter.

Would love to see a big nuke / renewable build out next recession, but big builds need a long time to plan and approve.

Okay? The best time was 15 years ago. The second best is literally right now, and that'll always be true. Do you think because it'll take time that we just shouldn't do it?

I literally wrote that I want us to do it.

Newer designs with much safer profiles shouldn't take as long to approve IMO... no idea what the regulations say of course, I'm just saying we should change them to fast track these.
