No one is going to build them in this country and here is why!

Notice the date. How many nuclear plants have we built since.

You should try living in the world of reality. It is much more rewarding.

December 29, 1982
Swept by a torrent of lawsuits and ballot box revolts, the Pacific Northwest is on the brink of an unprecedented financial disaster because of a nuclear building program that may quadruple electric bills, bankrupt several local communities and trigger one of the biggest bond defaults in U.S. history.

By March, officials here say, the Washington Public Power Supply System, which is responsible for building five huge nuclear plants, will have no money left to pay its creditors and will be forced into default if no help arrives. Two of the plants, although 17 percent and 23 percent complete, respectively, have been canceled.

But 88 utilities in three states have been told that they still owe $7 billion in principal and interest on the defunct plants even though they are never going to receive a watt of electricity from them.
