America's Nuclear Industry Doesn't Need Cronyism To Thrive

Privately funded nuclear reactors are hitting major breakthroughs, demonstrating the industry's potential without government favoritism. Yet, the Trump administration has shown a preference for supporting one company, despite evidence that market-driven progress is more sustainable. This move raises questions about the role of government intervention in a sector that's increasingly proving it can thrive on innovation and private investment. The push for cronyism undermines the broader nuclear industry's momentum and could stifle the next generation of clean energy solutions.
