John,

Do you guys have any idea how many nuke power plants are on the drawing board? It isn't an easy projuct, and it costs A TON of up front money. And most of that money comes from the utility users, not "investors". You talk like it's building a grocery store.

Rate payers pay for electricity, and ther payments service the debt incured, but they don't pay anything upfront.

Bull. That was alive and well in the Clinton years. It died with the born again anti-science Bush admin.

Its not that simple.

Joe

I don't think there are any currently.

"It isn't an easy projuct, and it costs A TON of up front money."

That is true. And there is enough uncertainty for future demand that no one is willing to start one.
