[Peace-discuss] what's up with the Clinton nuke bailout?

[Robert Naiman]

Could someone please explain to us why it's a good idea to have a ratepayer
bailout of Exelon's nuclear power plants?

"Exelon's plan would raise electric rates statewide -- it said it would
cost the typical residential user about 25 cents a month — in order to keep
open the Clinton plant and another nuclear unit near the Quad Cities.
Exelon said earlier this month that the plants have lost about $800 million
over the last six years, mainly because natural gas prices have been so low
and have undercut nuclear power's cost."
