The article brings up good points but if I read it right it says plants at risk for closure by 2030, and it seems to be saying the the Illinois and NY plants were saved and not in danger anymore by 2030.  Although some Illinois and NY nukes were saved from this fate for now, I don't think the legislation that saved these plants necessarily extends to 2030.  If I read the article right it is kinda contradicting itself because those same plants could still be at risk in 2030 and weren't saved forever.  It is great that NY and Illinois had the chutzpah to get er done but politics today don't equal politics tomorrow.   The sentiment seems to be we need to do something soon to keep nuclear from dying off post 2030 which I agree with, but trying to guesstimate an actual number 13 years from now is very plastic.  Single unit plants up North probably shouldn't be put in the "safe zone" for 2030.  GLW already talked about this in a previous post concerning the status of NY plants.
