And their vote counts more than yours because they live in rural districts with lower populations. Smh at "democracy."

I thought the primary problem with nuclear is that it is incredibly expensive?
And the big roadblock is it takes way longer than an election cycle to get online, so there's little to no incentives to start a project of one. Renewables have the advantage of going online within that window.
Private insurance for the project is incredibly expensive. But there are ways to go about it differently, if the will is there.
Looking it up to refresh my memory, it looks like there's also the comparably very high construction cost and the cost of disposal and/or maintenance of the waste. Those feel like fairly fixed costs. Unless we can make those cheaper without sacrificing safety and worker pay, it seems like nuclear just isn't economically practical.
