Nuclear Plants Closing
Rerun:
Dang
Rerun:
Has nothing to do with Entergy has everything to do with these being small single unit plants in a non friendly environment.

Why build FLEX buildings that have a 1 in 10,000 chance of ever being needed?!?!?!?
Come to think of it, why build them even if they are needed, there are other more frugal and smarter ways of getting the same result for less investment,....
Nothing is wrong with Entergy,...
the 3 boilers make little economic sense all things considered,...
they could make better sense,...
but those circumstances are not happening,.... [coffee]

Mr Rerun is correct. IPEC (IP2&3) are also in an unfriendly environment, but there are 2 of them.... Palisades is a single unit, but it has a contract to sell its electricity to 2022.
If it were an 'Entergy' issue, then Kewaunee and SONGS and a few others wouldn't be on the list. What you do see though, is when Entergy bought those units, it made $ sense with $4.50/gal gas, and now it doesn't with $1.70/gal gas.
So many of us non-liberals like to say 'let the market speak'... well, it has spoken.
I'm conflicted between wanting low energy prices, and wanting them to be high enough for nuclear to make $ sense.

Why spend 70 million on "Fukushima Mods" that really don't decrease your core damage risk much? Especially when you're 3 1/2 hours from the coast.......
Oh wait, because the NRC says you have to ;D
