True, the companies get subsidised to build meaning you already paid for a lot of the up front cost through your taxes and are later price gouged again. And once it’s over probably they stick the populace with the waste and decommissioning costs.

Example in the Netherlands, we actually had a foundation setup to run the nuclear powerplant, and they had to reserve money for the decommissioning. Once the end of the reactors life was passed, the decommissioning was paid for from the foundation, the money that was left was paid to the shareholders. Turned out the decommissioning was 20 million more expensive… Guess who had to pay…

The government should be building long term waste storage and mandating it’s use by the nuclear facilities at cost.

No… then You lobby the government to finally take action against coastal erosion and rake in those sweet sweet public billions to protect your private investment.

Time to invest in parcels of land a bit further (currently) inland as they will be prime oceanfront real estate in a decade.
