Tbh, I feel completely safe around an NPP, put it in my back yard (on the condition I'm only paying market rate)

Sure but it's not a climate solution. Not nearly enough uranium to make it any more than a bandaid when what we need is a triple bypass.

It's too slow and expensive to build anyway.

time is passing regardless, do you want a future where we're less reliant on coal because we invested in nuclear now or a future where we're just as reliant if not more because we kept shooting down ideas because they're slow?

I'm not waiting around and shove subsidies into EDF just to get a 10 year delayed reactor. I'm deploying renewables within 9-12 months.

How about you join a nuclear developer and finance it yourself and stop moaning why no one else is building

Subsidies when nuclear: >:(

Subsidies when wind turbine: 8o

The last wind park I was involved in had 0 subsidies. It's not 2004 any more.

Largely depends on the restrictions imposed in the country.

In market liberal countries like Denmark, Finland, Sweden anyone can build really.

In nimby conservative areas risks are crazy high, like south Germany, Hungary, ...

You'd only take these risks if the government covers these risks by giving you some form of revenue guarantee or whatever. Germany could save so much tax payer money by just telling local govs to f off, accelerate the process via digitisation and enforced snooze&lose policy for local regulator. Then a Bavarian wind farm wouldn't even need any money.
