Now for the real reason, voters dont want to.

They don't want to what? Don't want to give up poorly designed regulations? Or do not want nuclear power?

The latter is largely due to the anti nuclear movement, as sponsored by the petroleum industry. This will go down in history as one of the biggest self-owns in trying to protect the environment.

Don’t want to be forced to pay a premium for the most expensive mainstream form of power generation.

And we're back to the beginning. One of the major costs of current reactors is regulatory burden. One of the reasons we don't see improvements in costs is it is extremely hard to release changes or new designs.

Dont want to be scared of a nuclear meltdown

We should put a stop to hydro electric as well https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1975_Banqiao_Dam_failure

Dont let the voters know about this or we will
