    Yes, cost is going up because people expect mega corps to pay for their infrastructure investment lol

    So you think that companies don’t pay for electricity? That they’re not part of the “profits” the electrical company has on the books?

    Man… I wish I could just get free electricity for my company. Oh… and I pay higher rates at my commercial space for less usage than I do residentially.

    But right! That’s companies somehow getting some freebie from “the people”.

    Oh, and you continue to ignore my point as well, so I’ll ask it again… If there are more nuclear plants… thus more production for things used to create and maintain nuclear plants. Will the cost to produce MORE nuclear energy go down?

      Microsoft is demanding US taxpayer provide loans to bring this plant online. It has been sitting there for 50 years…

      They pay lower rate than the people who pay for the planet.

      What sort of clown capitalist regime is this? And why are taxpayers so receptive to such arrangement.

      If this is such a good deal, why does not microsoft just pay for its own capital expenditure?

      This is just basic capitalism. You keep pointing out to some big picture benefits like a lobby clown in DC asking for money but look US grid capacity will increase and “we” will create jobs 🤡

      I am not against nuclear, or infrastructure. I never made that claim. I am against taxpayer paying for some dude’s pet project…
