The real reason you can't build a nuclear plant is that the private sector insurance companies won't insure them, and the government is no longer providing indemnity.

It is far more complicated than this; however, the problem could easily be resolved with legislation that would absolve the utilities from responsibility. Of course, you would have to insure that appropriate procedures are followed, which is the job of the current agency anyway.

Nuclear energy is as clean as you can get. Ideally, we would use more hydroelectric, but I think there is really a shortage of places where you can build more dams. The waste problem is tough, but manageable.
