To be clear, my comment isn't "the public response to building nuclear;" it's "the public response to corruptly financing nuclear on the backs of ratepayers while guaranteeing zero-risk profit for shareholders, despite incredible incompetence and cost overruns building the thing."

If you think that bullshit is inherent to building nuclear, I won't dispute it, but I will say it makes you even more cynical than me!

I would've had no problem with it at all if it weren't a fucking scam to gouge me for somebody else's profit.
