But if you periodically have to scrap a reactor or two, what does that do to the math? Certainly the execs aren't going to absorb that. It will increase the cost of a KWH or the burden will be put back on the shoulders of the taxpayer. What did TMI cost the public? Do we even know? And TVA? As far as mandatory carbon capture, the not-so-subtle effort is to dismantle, or at least de-fang, the EPA. If successful, that may tilt the playing field the wrong way. I guess what I am saying is that the people who look at nuclear through rose glasses have a pretty large base and they desperately need alternative sources to look impractical. And if the global warming deniers think we need to burn coal to compete with China, that's where they will try to steer things. I hope you are right and the alternatives win out, but it will be a protracted battle I think.
