Reply #79: Market Forces would be nice.

[DrGregory]

If you don't mind, would you keep digging. I'm going to PM you a reference for an article by a supporter of nuclear power that attempts to solve this problem with market mechanisms instead of command and control government authority.

It would be nice if we had "market mechanisms".

However, when State / Local governments can effectively
VETO a $6 Billion project like Shoreham, the $0.5 Billion
guarantee you cite about won't cover the cost.

As long as we have the ability for a State / Local
government to VETO the project like Shoreham, then
there is no "market mechanism".

If the State / Local government can shut you down, just
because you are a nuclear project and they don't like
nuclear, then how can "market mechanisms" counter that?
