This supposed cabal in the fossil fuel industry apparently extends to to the insurance industry. I can insure a gas fired plant, but not a nuke.

Maybe that is due to some fault in the way non-nuclear liability is calculated. Or, just maybe, the environmental and economic destruction that happens when nuclear plants suffer major malfunctions, especially when their operation is extended past the initial designed lifespan, is so large it is impossible to insure in a way that makes economic sense.
