Like tenfold. Edited April 20 by tgo ChemEngr79, Come on Titans, Titans279, and 4 others 5 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starkiller Posted April 20 Report Share Posted April 20 (edited) The current generation of nuclear power plants aren’t so great, thus why they needed to be bailed out. There are some serious issues here, be it economic or ecological. Also, the government shouldn’t bail them out, they should just take them over. Stop paying these companies to keep mismanaging nuclear power plants in an effort to save a few bucks. What we need are plants built on newer, better, safer designs. Also with more concrete plans on how to deal with the waste. Edited April 20 by Starkiller Alzarius, chef, and IsntLifeFunny 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChemEngr79 Posted April 21 Report Share Posted April 21 (edited) The distorted energy market have made many excellently operated merchant nukes that are running ~93% capacity factor uneconomic. If they are shutdown, they are replaced by natural gas. So this is the smart move. Edited April 21 by ChemEngr79 tgo 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
