(9,976 posts)The table only includes cost data for 75 of the 100+ nuclear plants in the US. Did you even read the paragraph you just posted?
In fact, the data in the previous table understates the cost overruns experienced by the U.S. nuclear industry because (1) the cost figures do not reflect escalation and financing costs and (2) the database does not include some of the most expensive nuclear power plants built in the U.S. e.g., Comanche Peak, South Texas, Seabrook, and Vogtle.
In other words, the table does not accurately reflect the average costs of the reactors in a given year. That is why you can't see the dramatic increase in reactor costs--the most expensive ones were excluded.
The dishonesty of the arguments you are making is becoming more pronounced the longer this goes on.
Projecting again I see.
