    Everyone keeps complaining about the budget and cost…but coming through COVID at only 2x isn’t unexpected.

    It’s also a pretty big obstacle when the company you hired to design and build the reactor core folds.

    Lessons were learned and the next one will be faster and cheaper.

    I hope we build more for the sake of the climate.
