The power plants that are closing would not be allowed to be built now. New plants are safer, and some designs appear to be inherently safe from meltdown.

Vermont Yankee leaks. Seabrook might be at risk from earthquake. It's time for new and safer nuke plants.

If we were talking about replacing old nuclear plants, that would be a different conversation. That isn't what's happening. We're largely transitioning from our aging nuclear infrastructure to our older and even less safe methods of power generation.
