. You seem to think that government paying for nuclear or government paying for your solar power system somehow makes it "cheaper". Hmmm, The last time I checked I paid for my system entirely out of my checkbook. But I do get paid yearly for the power I transmit to my local grid. It's only fair because I'm a clean, renewable generator of electrical power.

>>" The reason it is cost effective in France is because they standardized the plant designs and took out the government imposed obstacles to deploying power plants. "<< Interesting...according to what I read EdF has all 58 plants in France and was totally owned by the French Gov't until 2004 and is now 85% owned by the French Gov't so I guess that means the French taxpayers pay for and own the Nuclear Plants. Which I guess that means that the French taxpayer subsidizes their Nuclear Energy, almost all of it. Is that called Socialism or just "whack job" liberalism? en.wikipedia.org
