It probably could have been true if regulations were not written that said if your nuclear power is going to be cheaper than other sources you have to spend on safety features until it's not cheaper.
Like the internet today, electricity could have been a flat monthly fee determined by your service line limit (similar to bandwidth) with limits in place for excess use.

Get solar on your roof and then just ignore their stupid rules and monopolies and corruption.
Working great for me. Friends down the road had a 16% increase in price per kWh, already locked in another 8% increase next year.
Funny you would say that, Australia is about to have free power for all for a few hours each day. Yep, there really is that much
