It's a huge power plant. 5.6 giga watts. And they did ok with tineline and budget.
It did take 12 years of construction, and 32 billion in funding. And they project would have been in development long before construction started.
All in a regulatory environment which priorities "getting stuff done" and where there's plenty of capital to invest. (And investors who play a very long game.)
There might be conditions somewhere that are more favorable, but its not the US.
could it be done? Obviously yes. Will it be done in the US? Not a chance.
