The cost is exponentially higher. With the national debt increasing in trillions, do you think they can afford to build new nuclear power plants? They cost hundreds of millions of dollars I believe. I just know that you can produce more power with coal for the same price.

hypothetical numbers

10 billion dollars =

5 coal plants = 5 TeraWatts per plant per day

or

2 Nuclear plants = 10 TeraWatts per plant per day



25 > 20 for the same price.
