25. Do you really think we will be having this conversation then?
There are several points at which bankruptcies might occur and the probability being cited is in the range of 55-70%. For this to prove out fully will, like the last time, take at least a decade, probably longer as ways are found (such as above market rate power purchase agreements) to prop up many of the plants. And, again just like last time, the nuclear industry will actually get what they want - a couple or three decades of pilfering the public treasury while we are "waiting to see".

So no, I see no way that your test is viable and I don't accept that a "wait and see" attitude serves the interest of any entity except the nuclear industry.
