      I’m with you there, I just wanted to point out that it nuclear filled a military niche and was never really pursued for the benefit of mankind. Besides being limited by the pursuit of plutonium, nuclear would never be allowed to just power industry and a bunch of trains. Planners knew that they’d need the gasoline market in the US in order to maintain hydrocarbon availability for armored columns, jets, etc.
