Then kiss new nukes goodbye. Because the only way new nukes can be built is with government subsidies.

Fukushima will bankrupt TEPCO and probably the whole of Japan.

And the next nukushima will be the final nail in the coffin of nukers.
Stake thru the heart may be a better depiction.

Sad that it has taken so much damage for the reality to become evident to the nukers and sad that the world must suffer so much before that genie is put back in the bottle.

Imagine that at one time we were told nukes would produce electricity "Too Cheap To Meter" what a damned lie that has proven to be, eh, baggins?
