We've shut dozens down here in Texas over the past 20 years and we have rates around 8.4c kw/h which is about 8 times higher than it has to be if we still burned lignite.

Add to that DAYS of rolling blackouts in the winter storm of '21 (we had 2 hours of power out of every 24 hours for 3 days here in Dallas), we are morons for closing coal plants. We haven't built a single nuclear plan except for that one in Georgia in 30 years + I believe.

There’s a 2nd unit in GA coming on line in the next year. So 4 units on that site, two sets of twins, one from decades ago, one just becoming fully operational.

I live 10 miles from Moscow, Ohio. In the late 70s, early 80s a nuclear energy plant was 90% constructed there. The “China Syndrome” regulations put an end to that. After a tremendous amount of expense, the plant was converted to coal fired. It was a good neighbor to me, producing cheap electricity until last summer, when it was regulated into oblivion.
