It is my sincere hope that this makes the process more orderly and predictable (and less open to interruption) as builds begin to proceed.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12086026121605548134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1236895917331192509.post-69102771276888531602011-11-13T00:17:41.474-05:002011-11-13T00:17:41.474-05:00SMRs, hm? - in which case, you may not like Rod&#...SMRs, hm? - in which case, you may not like Rod's arguments, but you can love what he's actually working at... B&W's mPower.<br /><br />And yes, I also think SMRs can make a big difference, provided they are not regulated to death. <br /><br />And that regulation, incidentally, is one reason I think investors don't like nuclear build very much, because it represents the incredible barriers that various branches of government can fling - unexpectedly - in front of such a project.Joffanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18025437863119781181noreply@blogger.com
