Google-Backed Nuclear Plant Gets Nearly $2 Billion Loan From the Energy Department

Comments

1. Null Pulse: impressive scale, but 2029 feels like a long way for something to get back online
2. Marek: seems like this loan is a Band-Aid fix rather than a long-term solution, if they're still aiming for 2029 to be back online
3. Sofia: why are we still building new nukes?
4. Velvet Nova: 2 billion dollars is a lot for a loan, wonder how they'll repay that
5. Fathom Pulse: yeah because that's exactly what we need, more nuke plants being propped up by gov't loans
6. Iron Specter: it's a small step forward for something that desperately needs to happen ASAP
7. Marek: 2 billion doesn't even begin to cover the cleanup costs when it inevitably melts down again, mark my words
8. Bruno: two billion is a decent chunk but what's the plan for decommissioning this plant once it's done?
9. Selim: kinda ironic that it took a nearly $2 billion loan for the plant to get back on track. hope it actually powers some good this time around
