Because nobody wants to authorize a new nuclear plant.

which is why Rush Limbaugh types are so powerfully influential.
what is this fascination with rush limbaugh? limbaugh is just a schmo who takes his opinion, proof-texts to support it, and then presents it to everyone as if it were fact. then he insults anyone who disagrees with his view of things. over and over and over.

i don't really find that style of discussion to be very valuable. YMMV.

At about $15 per megawatt hour to produce electricity, a nuclear plant can only be profitable if oil prices rise AND if premiums for insurance (due to high risk) is carried by the Federal government. For those who believe in a free market, nuclear power (fission type) remains only marginally profitable.
