Compare battery costs from 1990 to today. Don't you think that if we actually did some investment in nuclear, that we could bring the cost of that down significantly as well?

France didn't experience cost reduction in their flurry in the 1980's. China didn't experience cost reduction in their flurry in the 2010's. So if there is some sort of volume effect available, it'd need to be a number significantly greater than a few dozen. And nobody is proposing building in that sort of quantity.
