Exelon-backed bill seeks $2 more a month for 'bailout' of nuclear plants | 27 Feb 2015 | Electricity users would have to dip into their pockets a little more to help cover costs of Exelon's [deadly] nuclear power plants under legislation unveiled Thursday that the influential corporation maintained would [pretend to] save jobs and keep service steady and reliable. Exelon is backing the proposal because it could prop up what the company says are three money-losing nuclear plants that produce relatively clean energy compared with other sources of power. Opponents question whether Exelon would get an unnecessary bailout when a trio of its other nuclear plants are in the black, and supporters of a separate bill prefer a broader approach that would build up renewable resources.
