the silver lining would be that a couple of years ago that list was twelve plants long,....

several have come off the list and returned to the viable side of the ledger,...

The article is two years old.  Doesn't even mention the three plants in IL that are "struggling".

I notice that the article was from November 2013, so the author was right about at least one of the plants (Pilgrim), and they just announced the deal brokered for Ginna. I'm hoping that he's wrong on #4 for at least a couple more years since that's my plant; but we didn't clear the auction for 2018-2019 so the economical challenges remain. We shall see.

As soon as I saw the 'Click to embiggen' note at the bottom under the chart I knew the author was a moron.
