> So nuclear operators are freeloading on society for decades making billions of profits Funny. I have the opposite take. Society has freeloaded off of nuclear for a generation or two by ignoring the wider social benefits and putting all the risk on the operators. Cheap, clean, reliable power matters. That we made it expensive via some made up social construct isn't very material to me in the bigger picture. > As a car driver I need to insure my car, As a car driver you pay a tiny fraction of your externalized costs to society. Most folks recognize this and are ok with the situation because of the wider social benefits overall.
