    Nuclear power provides energy that is largely free of carbon emissions and can play a significant role in helping deal with climate change.

    This is a giant hoax of an argument anyway.

    Nuclear plants consist mainly of a shitton of concrete (and only the best sort is good enough). The production of that concrete causes a terrible amount of carbon emissions upfront.

    But in most industrialized countries, the construction of nuclear plants tends to grossly exceed their budgeted cost and run years over schedule.

    LMAO I didn’t know that. So they tried to solve the problem of human stupidity? ;-)

    modular nuclear reactors, which can be built in a centralized production facility and then shipped to the site of their installation.

    Yea, sure… make it even better by adding an extra lot of carbon emissions for the transportation.

    I have to take back my statement from above: they did NOT try to solve stupidity, but rather exploit it.
