"This is obvious stuff looking backward from 2023. As I noted recently, nuclear energy and #freemarkets aren’t compatible. Nuclear programs are state programs with subordinate corporate partnerships.
No country globally has the conditions for success for nuclear generation in the 21st Century. That was a Cold War era success story…which is vastly diminished in the age of trade."

"The fiscal ideologues who seem to like #nuclearpower the most don’t understand that #freemarket economics and nuclear generation go together like flame throwers and gas stations. It just doesn’t compute for them that the market sucks for some things, and #nuclearenergy is one of them. Building nuclear reactors requires a #NuclearNewDeal, and no government in the world seems interested in doing that." https://cleantechnica.com/2023/11/06/nuclear-energy-free-market-capitalism-arent-compatible/
