I agree. And I think that framing it as quirk(not by the OP but by the gentleman in the article) is disingenuous and being used to push for what just looks like more subsidies for private energy companies. It's hard to read the following and not feel a bit rankled. >"Matt Crozat, senior director of policy development for the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI), said the industry is "encouraged" by the creation of the credit program, but is still pushing for more permanent economic support." The Nuclear Energy Institute looks like it's an just industry trade group that likely retains some powerful lobbyists.

> what just looks like more subsidies for private energy companies I don't think there's a future where "energy policy" (a euphemism for subsidies/lobbying/permitting) ceases to exist. If nuclear power is the least-worst of the industry trade groups, it should count for something. However, it might behoove us to consider the wisdom in allowing the whims of "energy policy" to vaporize twenty-year, $10 billion infrastructure projects.
