I do believe nuclear power will always stay a unique exception to this, it's extremely tightly regulated on an international level due to the fear of nuclear bombs. It's far safer and better for the environment than coal plants or natural gas, which do poison the environment without much corruption needed to enable it.

The nuclear power industry is a whole different beast than what the California tech bros are used to.

I believe in nuclear and hope you are right ...

We already have had real close calls on nuclear (Chernobyl for example).... Have we learned from our mistakes? I hope so
