Reply #9: Stop using logic. It is like kryptonite to anti-nukkers.

The funny thing is the first nuclear reactor in 30 years is being built by a NON PROFIT.

That's right a NON PROFIT PUBLIC UTILITY.

Municipal Electric Authority of Georgia (MEAG)

A utility who spent 3 years and nearly 100 million conducting studies both financial and environmental to determine nuclear energy was the best choice for new generation.

Another major owner is Oglethorpe Power which is a co-op owned by 39 municipalities in Georgia.

Combined they will own 52.7% of the reactor's output.


This is a utility who consistently provides power at lower rate than similarly sized private (for profit utilities).
Yet somehow they are just nuke shills. Nuclear power is massively expensive and they are just looking to break 30 years of positive history and start raping their ratepayers.

Don't think about it too hard. The anti-nuker arguments only work in a world when facts don't matter (and reactor containment is weaker than a garage air compressor :rofl: ).
