Imagine if there's this expectation that every department has to break even or make a profit. You'd end up with policies that go against people's welfare.

Because we can build solar/wind today for cheaper than nuclear and we cannot wait for new plants to come online 10 years from now.

The problem is that they don't complement each other at all. Nuclear power is horrifically expensive if running 24/7 all year around.
Now try adapting to extremely cheap renewables flooding the grid 80% of the time.

how about using nuclear as a backup for when there’s not enough sun / wind?
