Because of, just for example, the high cost of the steam turbine assembly for a nuclear reactor, nuclear power actually costs MORE than solar or wind per megawatt. I am NOT anti nuke but it is very, very expensive power. It seems affordable with temporary tax incentives, etc., but the current technology is riddled with cost issues.
I dont think the cost is with the steam turbine, more with the reactor/boiler, Insurance is kind of expensive so no private company is going to take the risk without government support.
Much of the cost is caused by litigation and delay. All caused by the same people who whine that it's too expensive.
We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.
