Uhhh.... pretty much, yeah. There has not been a new nuclear power plant put online in the U.S. in, oh, I don't know, thirty years? And not for lack of trying. The regulatory hurdles are pretty much impossible to overcome, and the general public is so unreasonably opposed that there is virtually no chance of getting approval for a new one.
