The US Regulatory Commission approved licenses to build two new nuclear reactors.
Expense of nuclear installations & storing the resulting waste are cost prohibitive so taxpayers are forced to offer the loans to the Fortune 500 companies to build them. If they were truly cost effective financial institutions would make those loans.

Last year more facilities and resources for renewable energy were built than all the other energy production options combined. Robert Kennedy "Ring of Fire"
