After a gap of three decades in orders for nuclear power plants, two companies interested in building new ones announced Thursday that they had formed a partnership intended to create a new business model for the industry.

Its about time something starts happening in the nuclear energy space again. its time to build new plants and decommission old ones.

And now for the knee-jerk lefty response. Yes it's time to decommision old ones, no it's not time to build new ones. When we figure out what to do with the radioactive waste, then maybe it'll be time to start building new ones.

We're probably better off spending the money on getting fusion to work, or giant windmills or something like Scotland's tides project. There are a lot of options out there that aren't going to leave garbage that will be lethal for millenia.
