Stop moving the goal post, your claim was no one was building nuclear power stations, clearly they are building nuclear power stations.
In this entire thread, no one has ever made the claim that they were easy or quick to build.
So this is about your misunderstanding of exaggeration? Obviously there's a few projects going around the world. They've largely fallen into the problems above: over budget and over schedule. Consistently. France is just about the only success story.
Construction basically is at a standstill in the US. I've detailed elsewhere in the thread how the NRC approved several licenses years ago, but zero progress has been made. It's easy to see why. Nuclear is a shit tier investment.
