Heritage Foundation's Nuclear Fantasyland
When in doubt, make stuff up. Worked for the Bushies for a while. Say something like pretending the Energy Policy Act of 2005s tens of billions of 80% loan guarantees isn't a massive handout for the nuclear industry? Spread out that reality distortion field a bit more.
Somehow the real renewables you snipe at don't seen to be needing that particular item, Mr. Spencer (if that is your real name).

"Seems like the only way to get a business going (or keep it going) today is to get help from Washington. That is, unless you’re in the nuclear business. While other industries are begging for taxpayer dollars, the nuclear industry is expanding at an impressive pace — without federal subsidies."
"That’s why no new subsidies are needed for nuclear energy (or any other energy, for that matter). The Energy Policy Act is doing its job. The industry is clearly moving now. The government doesn’t have to worry about ponying up more money. America’s private sector is on the job."
