Public sentiment and regulatory agencies come into play but the cost of 
generation is only zero if you defer maintenance to the point where it 
isn't worthwhile. The Vermont and Maine projects were also hurt by cheap 
hydro from Quebec.

Seabrook is operational but it bankrupted Public Service of Nw Hampshire. 

Many US plants have been more successful but it's never a case of fuel and 
forget.
