    Yeah NIMBYS are the rabid locals. As you said even the widely popular HSR has been delayed for a couple decades because of them.

    I’m aware that DC still operates, but there’s a huge contingent of people that want it offline just like San Onofre.

      Yeah I remember when DCs license was up for renewal and despite all the backlash they had to approve it because there wasn’t anywhere else to get that amount of power.

      It’s funny because California buys nuclear (and solar) power from Nevada anyway, so their choices are build nuclear power or buy it.
