Why can’t we do something intelligent like that? (Are you listening, Newsom?)
The Kalifornia idiots are scheduled to shutdown Diablo Canyon Nuclear Station in 2024. IIRC that has a 2 unit, 4 loop Westinghouse Plant. The liberal dumba$$e$ can't supply power on the summer demand peaks as it is but with Diablo Canyon gone, HUGE blackouts are coming.
Speaking of idiots, I worked at VC Summer Station in SC which was building TWO AP-1000 units.
I looked at the news for that place, they stopped construction in 2017 due to financial meltdown but the CEO of the old South Carolina company that I worked for got a 2 year jail sentence and more probation and fines. When I left, I sold ALL of my stock and I now get retirement benefits from Dominion Energy in Virginia. I used to say that the company was broke and couldn't afford the projects but the previous CEO used to think they were going to clean up because of the global warming silliness with coal being shut down (I used to listen to both of those ignorant fools talk in meetings about their visions).
Both of those CEOs had a FINANCIAL BACKGROUND and neither knew their A$$ from a deaerator. It's like letting idiots like Obama, Biden and Newsome have any say so in technical decisions. They don't know enough (even when experts tell them the right answers) to get anything right.
