Yep, nothing like massive subsidies and outright mandates for use.  If nuclear got anywhere near the support that renewables do, it would thrive.

Here's an idea.  Tax or limit emission of CO2 and other pollutants that harm public health, and let the market decide how to respond.  In other words, let all clean sources (and means of emissions reduction) compete on a fair, level playing field.  But, alas, this is something "environmental" groups will never allow.

All they are asking for is tiny (~1 cent/kW-hr) subsidies to keep existing nukes I operation; much less than what renewables get.  (As both are non-polluting, nuclear should actually get equal subsidy.)
