If it’s not possible for nukes to be built because of the liability risk, is it really chicanery? I mean, I would call bullshit on the subsidies and the relicensing of old designs, but again, I think nukes have to be an important part of any future energy mix, and if the essentially unlimited liability (I mean, how do you price rendering a large area uninhabitable for who knows how long) means that won’t happen, then I think creative solutions are in order. I’d prefer it not involve gov’t subsidies, but as long as the gov’t does hand out energy subsidies I want to see a new generation of nukes involved.
