The key variable holding back nuclear is its near-criminalization by the government, which makes it nearly impossible to build new nuclear power plants. Since the advent of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission not *one new plant* has been approved from conception to completion. — PolitiTweet.org

The IRA won over many advocates of reliable electricity by including nuclear under the “ITC” and “PTC” subsidies traditionally reserved for solar and wind. Many imagined that the IRA would help usher in the nuclear renaissance that so many of us want. It won’t do this at all. — PolitiTweet.org

The IRA does nothing to decriminalize nuclear. Instead, it adds nuclear to traditionally solar/wind subsidies. At best this will prevent some plants from shutting down—but that could be far better achieved by eliminating the solar/wind subsidies that drive nuclear closures. — PolitiTweet.org
