Hell naw son, :911: would never import that commie garbage, instead there will be trillion-dollar contracts given to Lockheed to develop their own drat reactors once the need is great enough to overcome cultural and political barriers.

Really the only way that nuclear could take off again in America is if the Koch brothers decided to complete their transformation into cartoon villains and astroturf a new political movement to allow them to build plants.

The way they keep oil prices low is by ensuring we don't make it more difficult or expensive to burn fossil fuels. Carbon taxes would immediately make nuclear power and renewables competitive.
