One of my profs told me "Bankruptcy is the opposite of sustainability." The last two nuclear plants we built in the US caused four bankruptcies. Explain, and pretend you're talking to a stockholder in CB&I, why this time will be different.

I mean, a quick google suggests that China has ~50 GW of nuclear with 17 GW under construction, and 252 GW of installed solar with 48 GW installed last year. Even w/capacity factor, that's hardly "all" in. (Also, hundreds of utility CEOs disagree w/you on nuclear. Lefties! )
