I have no problem if someone wants to build a nuclear reactor. I do have a problem as soon as my tax dollars start getting consumed on reactors or cleaning up after the reactors.
You can argue that many tax dollars go to paying for supporting the oil industry, not only through tax breaks but also the large military to keep "access" to "our" oil. That's wrong too.
My guess is, if the market space actually was allowed to function, oil would go up in price, no nuclear power plants would be built, and folks would quickly start figuring out clever ways of using energy and finding new sources.
