The Problem With Subsidies and Obstacles to Energy Development
We introduce a lot of obstacles into energy deployment and that is the main thing that's holding us back. So we basically get only like these super-bispoke power plants that cost 10 cents a kilowatt hour or more and the real price should be about two cents. And as a consequence, like all the nuclear plants, like people give up, either they give up before they build one or they build one and then they don't build another one of the same design. It would be trivial to just build a lot of these and making it very hard to license them.
