Imo it should be the other way around. Nuclear plants should be government run.

I am of the same mind that they should be government run because electricity is a necessity for modern life. Electricity should not be produced for profit. Yes it would be nice for it to bring in more than it cost in order to fund expansion and upgrades, but shareholders shouldn’t be involved.

I personally believe it should basically be another USPS, but hopefully consistent and safe.
