Read the paper. I'm not the unserious one. You will ignore all other information because anti-nuke must be right. You've cited Wikipedia, and that's it. Fuck off dude. You aren't the one in the right here.
Literally every piece of it increases cost. Do you disagree with that statement? If you do, which red tape has ever decreased cost? Do you think there aren't regulations on nuclear? I don't need to cite any specific one because it's obvious they're being created and it's obvious they'd increase cost. Only someone who wants to sea-lion would ask to cite specific regs.
Check out the edit above. I wasn't fast enough for you apparently, but nuclear can decrease over time. The US is the extreme of costs increasing. Why would this happen if knowledge and technology advances if some external force isn't acting upon the price?
I like that you keep asking for evidence, I provide it, you cite Wikipedia, then you ignore all other information and act like others are being ignorant. You want anti-nuke to make sense. It does, if you accept that regulations are increasing price and that's good. It doesn't if you think artificially increasing the price is bad.
You have answered zero questions and have not responded to any information I've provided, yet you act like you're winning this debate. You look like a fool.
Maybe one day you'll come to appreciate the irony on display here but I somehow doubt it.
Last thing and then I'm done with you:
To recap, you asserted that red tape and regulations are preventing nuclear from being competitive.
OK, fair enough. I asked for just a single example of a regulation that could be done away with and that would reduce costs in a meaningful way as it's pretty much your entire argument.
You haven't been able to do this.
You lose, I'm done with you for real now. Have a nice weekend.
I'm not an expert. I posted a scholarly article showing this was the case. You promptly ignored it. You lose. You want proof that you wouldn't accept anyway. I could waste my time citing regulations, and you'd just say that has a purpose, which it does is it required? I'm not wasting my time when you don't accept the premise (until now) that regulations are increasing the costs artificially. This is done by groups with a goal to keep competition out and increase the price of their product. Why would you support that?
