Thanks for continuing to push this. IMO, you are doing more to potentially mitigate global warming than just about anyone.

Amazing to us that people don’t understand the tools we have or the monkey wrenching of over regulation fighting one of those tools (which happens to be the best for purpose).

Good piece, Jack!

Keep spelling out in great, fact-based detail why these continuing policies and regulations are injurious to the improvement of all of our lives

Cartels, mafiosi, and governments get their cut or you get hurt, or maybe just for fun they hurt you anyway. Sigh.

This is my new favorite substack - thanks Jack!

Why not an option 4) a congressionally reformed NRC with a dual mandate that promulgates regulation based on the sigmoid threshold model you proposed?

LJ,

Does this reformed NRC still get to change the rules on the fly?

Does this reasonable NRC bear any penalty for increasing the cost of nuclear power?

How does this dual mandate incentivize the regulator to compare nuclear versus the alternatives?

But I'm sure many people are thinking about your option 4.

The response is worth a post which I'm working on now.
