The Future of Nuclear Power

There's no doubt that over time, as we continue to refine the process, that we can make it safer and safer. But most of these new ideas are still unproven, untested, and there is a long lead time for these types of new technologies to be proven and to be put into place. And many nuclear plants are subsidy by governments because they can't stay afloat on their own. A natural gas power plant that you could build for between one and one and a half billion dollars would cost between six and nine billion dollars for nuclear. Natural gas facilities are about 16% the construction cost of nuclear facilities.
