> Supporting nuclear" isn't supposed to mean splitting the atom at any cost. The point is if we would just stop regulating the industry into oblivion Sounds to me like just that. If deregulation is the only way you could make nuclear work in the 21st century, then it rightfully is on the way out. > Keeping a weather eye on China, if they do their usual trick and start learning how to build nuclear cheaply they could leapfrog everyone else on energy tech in another industry. Oh, China learned to do all kinds of things cheaply. They are famous for their tofu dreg and the catastrophes connected with this meme, which is a result of regulative negligence and corruption. I would question the theory that this model should become an example for the rest of the world and especially in technologies which are as dangerous as nuclear power generation. But there are actually fantastic news coming from there with much lower risks where we could learn from: https://cleantechnica.com/2023/02/06/renewables-in-china-trend-upward-while-nuclear-trends-flat/ https://cleantechnica.com/2023/02/06/renewables-in-china-tre...
