While I agree about the coal thing:

Democracy just as lazy and apathetic is whatever the USSR counts as; the point of capitalism (which is different to democracy) redirect the laziness into something more productive — this works to an extent, but depends on competition which is greatly reduced in the case of nuclear reactors.

That it's a different axis than democracy-communism is also why the not-at-all-democratic military reactors around the world seem to be doing fine.
