Nuclear industry spokesmen have flatly admitted their projects cannot be built without government financing and mandated sales. The entire industry is artificial and lacking in market support.

Our objection to nuclear power is not that it is dangerous or that the waste disposal problem remains unresolved.

No, the problem is that government-created industries are illegitimate and would not exist in a voluntary economy. Just like renewables, nuclear power soaks up huge resources that could have been used to enhance our standard of living if directed by consumer preferences.
