Illinois' nuclear power subsidy of $694 million: imperfect compromise (cnbc.com)
Illinois' nuclear power subsidy of $694 million: imperfect compromise (cnbc.com)

Irony alert.


  • llinois legislators agreed to spend up to $694 of taxpayer money over the next five years to keep a handful of nuclear power plants open.
  • The operator of the plants, Exelon, said they were losing hundreds of millions of dollars and that nuclear can’t compete with cheap natural gas and subsidized wind and solar.
  • Critics say that Exelon had the state over a barrel and that longer-term solutions are necessary to make clean energy cheaper and more accessible.

COP26 Prepared the World to Beat Climate Change - WSJ

Um, yeah, there is a gap between promises of action and needed actions, and promises of course won't get fulfilled.

The Chevy Bolt has/had that problem, and it happens with other EVs but rarely, I think.

It's probably not a real factor in assessing their overall environmental impact.

Well the older some of these new vehicles get may be more telling.I'd imagine it's the cheap cables/wiring.Cracks me up everyone buys strings of LED christmas lights.When the wires in the lines are as thin as a strand of hair and break all the same rendering the benefits of purchase moot

I suspect/hope it's fixable.  I think it's battery related, not wiring, in general.
