That ship sailed. We didn't clear the auction, and we're waiting for the official "We're closing in 2019" announcement as they start to lean on the PA state legislature. It'll be an interesting two years around here.

Time for another Nuclear "bailout"

"bailout" = Nuclear actually getting the credit it so rightly deserves

The Marcellus Shale Coalition has been doing a fine job of peppering mailboxes with letters and flyers informing people about the evils of nuclear bailouts.

Sorry to hear that. Is Pennsylvania one of the states considering clean energy subsidies?

Clean energy subsidies are being considered for the state. With the PJM auction results in, the path is pretty clear now. Between TMI, Susquehanna, and Beaver Valley, we're expecting the lobbying in the state capitol to intensify on both sides... and now we wait.
