> When it comes to nuclear, that's a problem the world over.
I think there's a perception problem.
Do people readily go to school to study nuclear engineering?
I don't think it carries a stigma per se, but it would not be that sexy, and it would be harder to get a job and keep it subject to political whim on a 4-year-cycle.
(A more practical/guaranteed job would probably be a petroleum engineer, especially wrt fracking)
