The 1990s called. They want their energy economics back.

Even back then, those economic comparisons were idealized for nuclear. Build it run it count up to the dollars and there you go. Except you need to secure it, you need to handle waste, and roughly the same cost over runs are bedeviling decommissioning as they were construction.

On top of all that, why is nuclear still uninsurable in the private market?
