Why does the world insanely ignore nuclear power?

By Ronald Stein, Oliver Hemmers and Steve Curtis - posted Tuesday, 21 October 2025


All we have to do is crank up the free enterprise innovation engine. No other method works nearly as good. To do this, the government has to get out of the electricity business. Government subsidies only cloud the effectiveness of free enterprise and force the warp speed of private innovation to die in the face of the molasses of free government money. If no results are required, people get lazy. But business must have results, or they lose their investments. The only money government loses is your tax money.

So, we must find a way to encourage the innovation of free enterprise while eliminating the molasses of government free money, camouflaged as subsidies. What we need is a proposal submitted to government to explain the logic of this, even in the face of enraging monopolistic interests. Don’t the people deserve the benefit of their investments?

Let’s find those who are advocates of the people. Once investors see $100 trillion in assets, they can be very persuasive. So, what we need is a state governor willing to advocate for the people. So far, none has emerged. However, as prices go up, supply goes down, billionaires become trillionaires from government-funded monopolies, and citizens’ quality of life degrades, hopefully someone will remember the great promise of recycling slightly used nuclear fuel (SUNF). Oh, yeah, the USA government has a fund of $50 billion collected from ratepayers plus interest to do only this. In the right hands, innovation can be realized. Believe it or not, the voices of citizens like you could make the difference.
