How about we regulate all the other power sources as heavily as we regulate nuclear?

This is an extremely unfair comparison, because nuclear has to do things (Even leaving aside the Nuclear part of it) that no other energy source does.

You know any coal supply chains that have to track each atom that they ever dig up?

And even leaving aside cost, what about other benefits?

I can't believe I even have to mention this but you realize that nuclear power has safety issues that wind and solar do not? Hence the regulation.

And even leaving aside cost, what about other benefits?

Such as?
