    Literally only in the US and Europe. Remove the profit motive and don’t keep on inefficient construction companies and it’s a quick process.

      There’s no profit motive for large scale carbon capture anyway, so big CC plants and big nuclear plants would need the same political will.

      Can you point out a nuclear project that was a quick process? How would removing the profit motive make it quicker?

        Sure, China. You can build a nuclear power plant from dirt to operation in 6 months. Not 10 years plus infinite overages, 6 months.

        If there’s not a perverse profit motive at every stage and instead people are rewarded for getting the job done and getting the job done right, you end up with high quality fast engineering.
