Bloomberg New Energy Finance report said,
. . . more than 1/2 of all nuclear facilities in the USA,
. . . are “bleeding cash.”

The upshot of all this red ink is,
. . . new nuclear generating plants are completely unaffordable.
In South Carolina,
. . . 2 utilities decided to abandon construction of
. . . 2 nuclear plants after spending some
. . . $9 billion.
They were originally expected to cost
. . . $11.5 billion and be operational in 2018, but the latest projections cost is
. . . $25.0 billion and be operational in 2021.

The utilities plan to pass on some of the loss to customers
. . . by raising rates.
