A gray dinosaur statue outside south Florida's largest power plant is meant to symbolize two decommissioned fossil fuel reactors, but it also could be seen to represent a nuclear industry crumpling under mounting costs.

Almost a decade ago, Turkey Point was aiming to become one of the country's largest nuclear plants.

Florida Power and Light had argued that such expansion was needed to maintain diverse energy sources and to supply Florida's booming population for years to come, while touting nuclear as a clean form of energy.

Friggin' moron. There is NO SUCH THING as a "fossil fuel reactor". It is a boiler that burns gas to make steam. For a so-called physics organization, it is amazingly sloppy, another sign the lefttards have taken complete control, just like most of the engineering professional organizations. I will probably drop membership in ASME after almost 40 years because of the NYC leftists taking control of it.

George Westinghouse is probably rolling in his grave.

They won't like/accept anything other than windmills or solar panels.

"Nuclear power is a technology whose time never came."

did this idiot who said this ever talk to the French?

And they breed more liberal weenie greenies.
