I really doubt that environmental regulations more than doubled the price. Especially when they knew about those regulations when they were planning it.
Protests against nuclear power have certainly helped prevent many counties, US included, from investing in new reactors over the last 30+ years.
Right, but unless nuclear energy regulations have changed significantly since they started planning it wouldn’t have increased the cost.
Or maybe it costs $15 billion to drag some hippies out of the way, I don’t know.
