What does construction cost per kw have to do with government subsidy?  ::)

Uh read his analysis again...

  I did, he is comparing overnight cost to KW delivered. He uses it to demonstrate why older designs and over regulation is a problem. Overnight is the cost without delays and stakeholder input after the license is issued. We overregulate in the initial construction and in operation doing what sounds good not what works. Overruns due to stakeholder delays are mitigated by France because they do not allow intervention after license issue. France also has a standardized design so they are not reinventing the wheel every time they build a new reactor. There are a number of other innovations that are examined to make the point that conventional wisdom and overregulation in the US is stifling the market.

  I think I got what he was saying.
