New You obviously don't live in ComEd territory!
That ("Nuclear Power will be too cheap to meter") was the siren song used by Commonwealth Edison ("...a UNICOM Company...") to build so many nuke plants in Illinois. Has more of 'em than any other power generating company in the country. Has more of 'em in mothballs than any other power generating company in the country. Has the highest rates of any power company in the country.

You do the math...
