What do you expect, that people would welcome a 25% increase in cost with no readily identifiable benefit? I thought energy independence and no GHG's was supposed to be a benefit? Guess its only a benefit for things we don't use much now. And yeah the business model for nuke plants doesn't work very well. At least wind and solar are generally incremental so less of a huge one time, up front burden. And they come on line a LOT faster. Considering that massive use of these would need massive investments in transmission facilities and energy storage facilities and backup NG plants .... nah.
