i get some of that. Intermittent (wind,solar) seems to be going away. If it’s intermittent, is a replacement really needed for that alone ?

Some nuclear plants here (Illinois)scheduled to close are now being given new life and now have prolonged closing dates.

Clinton was suppose to close in 2017.

Illinois wants to expand nuclear but pol wants to totally remove the nuclear moratorium.
It all boils down to profitability.

So I guess I am answering my own original question.

arg...
but pol wants to totally remove the nuclear moratorium.

s/b no pol (except a few Repubs) want to remove the moratorium.

The failing Ill-Annoy wind farms are a disgrace. Bring on the nukes!
