"Costs of today's nuclear plants are just slightly above that of coal as a national average."

I'm not sure the providence of this quote but it is pure unadulterated nonsense.

The cost of today's nuclear plants is horrendously more expensive than that of coal if you made the industry pay the cost of the research, the cost of the cleanup, and more importantly the cost for the next 10,000+ years of babysitting its refuse.

The industry would not be economically viable were it not for a corporate welfare system subsidized by John Q. Taxpayer.
