  1. A $9.00 price rise for the only nuclear plant to come on line or come back on line. Proving once again that nuclear power is too expensive. Once touted as “being too cheap to meter,” back in the 1950’s. If it is so safe, why did the government have to pass the Price-Anderson Act to re-insure the industry from “acts of god?” Now, they want to increase the liability coverage. Has everyone forgotton about Fukishima, Cherynoble or Three Mile Island? I never heard of a solar farm, wind farm or a manufacturing plant for making solar panels or wind turbines having an accident contaminating an area the size of Pennsylvania for 100,000 years. As the John Hall song goes from his album “Power” “Plutonium is forever.” And from the title song of the same album “just give me the warm power of the sun, the gentle flow of a water fall, but put all of your atomic poison power away.”

    $6.60 $12.38 $12.95
    Average daily cost

    33 days 30 days. 32 days

    How about almost DOUBLE amount paid per kWh – from $6.60 in September 2022

    To $12.95 per day in September 2023
    Difference of $200. In months billing
    And 4 kWh USAGE
    2154 in 2022
    2158 2023
