The mindless argument I always hear is nuclear costs too much.
I always thought it was "Too cheap to meter".

Too Cheap to Meter - Matt Rickard
10 Jan 2022The phrase "too cheap to meter" was used in a 1954 speech by the Chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission, Lewis Strauss. ""It is not too much to expect that our children will enjoy in their homes electrical energy too cheap to meter." Strauss's prediction didn't come true. Imagine if electricity were so plentiful that it was free.
