In other words: nuclear is not viable unless the risks are offloaded to the public. Privatize profits, socialize risks.

Its the same with any massive infrastructure investment - only governments have the balance sheet to build them.
It is not that way with other similar types of power production.
Or, you know, socialize risks, socialise profits. I don't know why we would have to put up with this abuse and corruption any longer.
It's precious that you think a socialized system wouldn't be rife with corruption.
You only really have two options there:
- a system of lords and peasants, where the lords are held accountable and kept in check by the peasants, as the social contract obliges, or - a system of lords and peasants, with no checks and balances
Obviously, corruption can creep in any system, but the one that states "let's give it all to the lords with nothing in return" seems asinine to me.
