Indeed!

AFAIK, no utility will build a nuke plant w/o the thing being fully insured, subsidized, you name it, by the govt. This is not the case with coal fired plants. There is money to be made -- much more of a sure-fire deal than nuke plants.
It appears to me that the free market has made a statement on the merits of nuclear power.

The "free market" has made no such statement. A huge reason for that increased cost associated with Nuclear power is the primitive histrionics of the eco-freaks and their attendant acolytes. Consequently the US is still, in the 21st century, buggering around with coal fired power plants while places such as France have over 80 percent of their energy supplied by nuclear.
