   Nuclear power, before "Alternatives," was obscenely pricey. It was the   
   most ridiculously over priced energy source on the planet, with all   
   the safeties, the regulations and dealing with waste. There were   
   virtually no plants built in like 30 years, or very few anyway, and   
   it would still be that way if it weren't for alternatives.   
      
       ...if you could turn back the clock to the 1970s, tell all the   
   whole "Earth Day" crowd, the people PROTESTING nuclear plants that   
   within two generation the youth, the leftists would make them cheap   
   and desirable...   
      
   About the only way to make a nuclear plant even MORE expensive than   
   it started out would be to close down a plant before the end of it's   
   lifespan.

   Maybe they should STOP fucking over the United States, end 100% of all   
   their tariffs & "Regulations" imposed on American companies, and then   
   Trump would sell them all the market-priced natural gas they want.   
      
   Or coal for that matter.
