That's fine. I don't see why nuclear power should be viewed from a profit seeking lense. In the same way we pay 1T for Defense, 3T for medicare/medicaid/SS, i don't mind paying XT for Nuclear Power.
conspirary hat on: I think big city governments/urbanists/feds don't want nuclear since it would enable a large swathe of the country to continue suburban/rural lifestyles (SFH and electric cars powered by nuclear). I bet they were hoping high gas prices/high electric prices would force them back into dense urban areas (kind of a reverse white flight) where they can be "goverened", taxed and have their surplus "redistributed".
conspirary hat off.
- andbberger 3y agothis is the worst conspiracy theory i've ever heard have you been to an american city?? they're terrible. there are like five habitable cities in the US, only one really good one which is not capable of building transit infrastructure at sane costs (cuomo train hall, no through running at penn station, the world's most expensive bridge per mile, 2nd avenue subway). oh and there's no housing so it's incredibly expensive to live in one of those five cities
- psunavy03 3y agoGood. Then keep your arrogant ass elsewhere; we don't want it anyway.
- dotnet00 3y agoNot really getting your priorities if you think the good one is one of the ones that is so hilariously expensive that even rent is obscene. Also, NYCs transit system (and NYC in general) is in a state of decay. They've added the shiny new station in Manhattan, but the decay is so blatant over in Queens, ancient metro stations with flickering or broken lights, the few renovated stations being blatantly cheap jobs, it's pretty depressing to compare to the money they burned on some of the stations in recent years in Manhattan.
- projektfu 3y agoSomeone certainly will be paying for it. I've lived in two locations where the utilities invested in nuclear and ratepayers get to pay for the difference between the cost of the energy and what they can sell it for. In Pittsburgh, we at least received some of the overpriced power we subsidized. In Atlanta, the nuclear plant is selling power to a different market, but we pay for it nonetheless.

- kalleboo 3y agoIsn't it the other way around? Centralized generation is good for urbanization. Cheap solar makes it easy to live off the grid in rural areas.
