the second of two nuclear reactors, the first two new nuclear reactors built in the United States since 1996. On the downside, the plant came in over budget and behind schedule. The plant cost $35 billion instead of the projected $14 billion and was completed seven years behind schedule. On the bright side, Georgia is now theLet’s compare that to the Democratic Party’s chosen gold standard of the Golden State.

Georgia’s nuclear plant is better both for the environment and for residents in every way than California’s far more bloated, far less likely to ever be built train. Given that California has its own clean energy needs that are going unmet, perhaps the state could have taken a cue from Georgia to build something that is actually useful and can actually be built in this generation. Maybe red states are just better at “saving the planet” than climate-obsessed blue states.
