> It was Fukushima and fracking that killed that Renaissance, not regulations.

It was mostly fracking. Most plans for new builds had already been put on hold by the time Fukushima occurred. New nuclear in the US made zero sense when gas is cheap and combined cycle power plants are 10% of the capex/power.

And since then, renewables and storage have crashed in price, nailing shut nuclear's coffin lid.
