Devanney, you are a knucklehead. Are you blind to the obvious? Do you not know about the anti-nuke movement, the great groundswell of public opposition to nuclear power? The reason why nuclear power has been a flop is staring you in the face. Mea culpa. Mea maxima culpa.
The substack platform has many pluses, but the ability to deal in depth with subjects like these is not one of them. The articles at gordianknotbook.com are far more complete and properly referenced. But for those who really want to understand what happened to nuclear power, you need to read the Flop book. Here's a hint. The 1970's oil crises were all important.
The order of operations is strange. I'm beginning to think it might have been closely connected to sunshine laws being passed in the early 1970s for congress. Could be wrong, but the timing is suspicious.

Jack--I learned something important from you, today. Thank you kindly. Here's my little thread about it: https://twitter.com/Mining_Atoms/status/1601727878227337216?s=20&t=w2JNgXcRfZwW9EoRFBUnVw
Bret,
I thank you.

I’ve got much to learn. Thanks for your work. I’m a fan.
Still, powder River basin coal is a big part of the story.
