The problem is that nuclear has become a loser technology. It's not failing because of the public thinks it's unsafe, it's failing because internally they can't compete (and excuses about regulation are just that, excuses.)

If nuclear were 1/3 its current cost we'd be building nuclear power plants left and right, protests be damned. But it's not, and we aren't, and we won't be. Deal.
