> Because it's by far the most expensive way of generating electricity This is a bogus point, FWIW. Nuclear energy is the only energy source that we expect to substantially internalize its externalities. All other forms have significant externalities that we just ignore. Some so great, such as coal-- that if we internalized them we wouldn't rightfully think of it as a source of energy at all: Just carbon capture alone will take more energy than burning the coal yielded, and that's before getting into all its other costs such as the considerable mortality due to its pollution and the radioactive emissions that eclipse those of nuclear plants.
