You are very much mistaken.

When has common sense stopped the gubbermint from doing anything?

The best example and the one I have the most fun with in nuclear energy. I listen to people wax and wane about how we need more plants. I then ask them two questions.

How many nuclear plants have ever been run that actually Made a profit?

zero.

How many nuclear exist today that run are free of massive( and I mean massive) gubbermint subsidies?

zero

So why are you advocating for something that has never been profitable and places a unending burden on taxpayers.

blank stare and the subject quickly changes
