Which part of it is questionable to you? That nuclear is more regulated than other forms of energy? That regulation increases building costs?

That regulation is the cause of the bulk of the costs and/or that regulation is the cause of nuclear's negative learning curve. There's an assertion here that nuclear would be cheap if only it wasn't regulated so tightly, and I've never seen an actual cost-breakdown to support that.
