Was just listening to the latest Jordan Peterson podcast this morning and there was mention of China announcing 150 new nuclear power plants. Haven't had a chance to look that up yet.
How much of the new infrastructure bill is going towards next-gen nuclear research? That's about the only thing that actually needs a subsidy to get off the ground.
Things like battery research needs no funding because there's already massive market incentive to do the research, and the means to do it. Regressive EV subsidies are a massive waste of money when it could be used to pursue more important problems more effectively.
