The plants are on track to meet their required funding levels, said Michael Dusaniwskyj, an NRC economist. It’s fine to have less money now because the funds will grow through investments, he said. Both Jennifer Young, a FirstEnergy spokeswoman, and Jerry Nappi, an Entergy spokesman, said there’s enough time for their decommissioning funds to increase to meet costs.Moreover, you first post on this thread claimed that taxpayers were paying to decommission plants, yet you have presented zero evidence to back up that claim.
You receive evidence every month when you receive your utility bill.
The surcharges on those utility bills to meet NRC obligations are completely seethrough as taxes, read as: theft under color of authority.
It’s unsustainable, period. Maybe we can get some more dreamers paying utility bills to cover these taxes... I mean “surcharges”? Screw it... let’s all just start paying $2.00 kWh for electric power... Let’s force the Amish to get on the grid and start paying into the fund.
They need to pay for “their fair share”.
As for these funds, what are they investing in exactly in this bogus economy that can possibly outpace inflation? 3 month Treasury Bills just sold at auction for 0%, for crying out loud.
And no, there is not “enough time for their decommissioning funds to increase to meet costs”. Plants are closed and awaiting full decommissioning, because THERE IS NOT ENOUGH MONEY THERE TO DO IT.
