Potential nuclear plant closures and what could be done to stop them

--snip--

Reducing costs

Another option for keeping plants in operation would be measures to reduce their operating costs (or at least prevent them from increasing) for at least the next few years. Such measures could be removed in a few years, after the market price for power has recovered, and the plants can afford higher costs.

One example would be to delay any expensive Fukushima-related upgrades for plants that are currently barely profitable or (temporarily) unprofitable. After a several-year grace period, the plant would be required to make the upgrades. If the market price for power has still not recovered (due to gas prices not going up), then the plant would close if the upgrades would render it unprofitable.

Pro nuclear publication. They actually state many plants are NOT profitable.

Hi, SO. Doin' alright, I hope.

None of them are profitable.
The owners suck money out of the system.
The tax-payer pays out the ass for very little in return..
when you consider that the bulk of the power produced goes to commercial and industrial entities.

We pay to build them, and to decommission them.. and eventually, we will pay to deal with the waste.

It's one of the biggest scams going.

Yep, world's biggest con. Have you had any of the snow down in your area? My daughter, in Missouri, got 18".

Flurries and flakes.. nothing sticking.
And I went out and bought 4 sets of all weather tires for the vehicles..

Ready for spring... saw a large flock of turkeys on the north 40 this morning.
Fishing is getting better.. won't be much longer.

TVA is trying to ban fishing near the dams.. for safety. Ain't going over well, here. Tennesseans like their fishing..
The governor of Tennessee was at a sportsman gathering at Old Hickory Dam today..
He is against the idea. Threatened to withhold funds for barricades if it comes down to it.

We'll see..
