Very difficult to do it here without subsidies, due to the very large initial investment  and liability. While I don't entierly dismiss the idea, it should be our last resort, at least for the time being As for Al Malvin, he is smart trying to frame the issue even if his message is wrong (in my view) French government subsidies nuclear power along with all forms of energy production  (socialism?)

More to your point, what does France do with their nuclear waste?  This seems to me to be the problem here; what to do with something that is dangerous and will be around for thousands of years.

As an educator, businessman, and veteran, he is committed to bringing vision, integrity and leadership to the Arizona State Senate. Originally from Helena, Montana, Al is a graduate of the United States Merchant Marine Academy, Kings Point, NY; the Naval War College, Newport, RI; and the American Graduate School of International Management, Thunderbird Campus in Glendale, Arizona. In 1999, after 30 years of reserve military service, Al retired as a Captain, U.S.N.R. One of his last duty assignments was Squadron Commander of MPS 2 at Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean. Look at the picture and combine this with his district (Oro Valley -doesn't get any whiter than that!), his military and business career.   If he were any whiter and any more Republican, I'd think he was Fort Buckley in disguise. How Republican, you ask?
