    1. Tax them enough that they don’t have the cash to just up and build their own personal-use nuclear powered, nation spanning infrastructure.

    2. Use those taxes to build a nation spanning nuclear infrastructure that everyone can use.

      Eh, I would say investment into R&D should be encouraged and maybe allow tax write offs. Even of the end goal is a private power source. Once that R&D turns into workable, operable, sellable products, then tax the fuck out of them. Perhaps disallow making things that can be a boon to public infrastructure from being deem proprietary, so that it can be more easily adapted to public use.
      I dunno, I’m typing from my couch after a few beers.
