the only thing is that it's expensive. however, with a long-term view, the return is almost assured. the problem is that it's too long-term for most investors to be interested in, and which is why gov'ts need to step in. for western companies, gov'ts need to work with financial companies to figure out how best to strcrture financing since it doesn't appear they have much public backing.

Did you really read my post? Nuclear energy produces long term costs. But it has no long term benefit, if you made from some uranium or plutonium energy - you have made your revenue and that's it. No long term revenue. And the resources are limited. The Uranium-reserves are limited to few decades at the current level of use. Plutonium is nearly not existant naturally, it is mostly created from Uranium in nuclear plants. So the uranium-resources also limit the plutonium-resources. In what regard that makes a long term investment?

 200 years to me is about as long of a long term investment there is.
