I'm sure that's true, but am noting that in Illinois the competitive disadvantage nuclear has against gas has the state actively subsidizing some unprofitable nuclear plants just as (I assume?) a jobs thing. Exelon doesn't seem to be pushing that hard to keep plants it already owns online.

Right, I just mean the politics, technology and economics interact particularly strongly with nuclear energy. Illinois is, like, the France of US state nuclear energy production but the actual France makes money exporting nuclear-generated electricity.
