It is not just the Georgia nukes that are expensive - the Southern Company "green" coal plant in Mississippi is redefining the cost of green. Perhaps when the populace sees the true price of political energy they will recognize - well - you guys define what they will recognize.

I think, but am not sure, that both of these projects were conceived and implemented before it was realized how much NG from fracking was going to be available. Even though both projects now look like "white elephants" they probably made some economic sense at the time when the alternative was going to have be coal which would require expensive retrofitted "old" power plants to burn it.
