I hate to tell you, very few places are building new nuclear plants as well.

The Fossil industries have lobbyists and money on their side yes, but their infrastructure also already exists. That's our biggest challenge. And it takes functional governments looking out for the interests of citizens to build and/or subsidize infrastructure. And functional government takes an educated and engaged electorate.

And because there are few plants being built, the cost is design is massive.

And a government that's willing to continue funding a growing expense to nuclear reactors such as maintenance or when building one goes over budget.
