The rules around nuclear in the US are absurd. I've looked into it. It is amazing we even have any. It's the reason we don't have more.

Yeh, my baseline understanding of nuclear is that it's actually the cleanest and safest, per kwh anyway.

However, insiders will tell you that the problem with nuclear is that it's actually one of the most expensive, per kwh.

But when I ask them whether it's expensive because of things like bureaucratic red tape and insurance, or whether it's expensive due to something physical/chemical, they agree that the high cost is probably mostly red tape
