It depends on who builds it.....Once it becomes permissible to build a nuclear power station I'd imagine at least one of the privately owned (well mostly private) power companies would look at it....in which case, there isn't a 'payback' period that affects the tax payer....

Are any of you so young, or so uninformed about our recent history, as to not know the contribution that 'the left and hippies", actually have made to this world?

Without the left and hippies, we would have dead rivers, polluted beyond recovery, oceans used as legal, uncontrolled dumping grounds for toxic waste, and the millions more species extinctions that naturally follow from such abuse.
No health care, in fact, no welfare at all, for the sick, old, or needy.

Just as an exercise, can anyone name a humane, moral, or charitable social advancement that was championed by the right wing of politics?
Have there even been any of these social reforms that they have not just, not introduced themselves, but also not actively been opposed to?

So try and imagine, if you can, a world where no lefties, or hippies, had ever had any influence.
It would be a dark, cruel, and dying world, wouldn't it?
So while the extreme left can actually transform into an evil totalitarian dystopian nightmare, when they take on unfettered power, like they did in the Communist regimes, a totally Capitalist world without the humanising influence of the left, is similarly unthinkable.

Well if that is the case Andrei, perhaps you can rise to the challenge and point out the advances in Social Justice and Equity that have been delivered by the right?
Any environmental causes they have championed?
I also agree with the principle that people deserve to be rewarded for hard work, but that is not an over arching belief that necessitates that you also believe that all who do not live financially successful lives are just lazy.

Are you blind, man hater?

The cost of a nuclear power plant is just over $2billion.

Baffles me how anyone can think emissions free power is a bad thing.
