Nuclear

Often times in the discussion of nuclear power the emphasis is how long and how costly these plants are to build. Here is an example. In the United Arab Eremites three nuclear power plants were built starting in 2012. The first was completed in Aug 2020, the second in Sept 2021, the third in Oct 2022 and the forth is scheduled for completion this fall. The cost was $20 billion dollars and the first three are now producing 5.6 GWe and these are larger than normal since the average plant produces one GWe. Nuclear power now produces 25% of UAE power. Production of nuclear power plants could be underway in the United States were it not for the emphasis on wind and solar.
