The smiley tells me that you're probably joking. But in case you're not, :)

"Economically unfeasible" doesn't mean that something cannot be done because 
there isn't enough money to make it work. It just means that in a *free 
market* there are alternatives that are cheaper. In the case of nuclear vs 
solar energy, nuclear wins by a wide margin on the basis of cost/benefit, 
even when you take into account the externalities.
