> Investment stopped because giant monolith plants are difficult build and operate profitably. They are highly profitable, they just require long-term investment to be profitable. They typically won't turn a profit for 10-20 years, but on a lifetime of 40-50 years that should be acceptable. > I personally can't believe that people still use "public dislike of nuclear power" as the main argument why nuclear power failed. I'm not trying to call it a conspiracy. It's well known that most early anti-nuclear-power activism was from anti-nuclear-weapons proponents. It's also clear that several big economies rolled back nuclear power investment directly due to the public perception of what happened at Fukushima. Germany was the best example of this.
