Doesn't nuclear power have subsized costs as well? I'm thinking of the Price-Anderson Act.

There's also the nuclear liability cap. Taxpayers cover disaster cleanup costs that exceed some fairly low level ($200 mil I think).

It's very expensive but also free insurance, basically.

That's the Price-Anderson "Nuclear Industries Indemnity" Act he was talking about.
