After taking a whopping 42 years to build and finally bring on line its Watts Bar Unit 2 nuclear power reactor in Tennessee, TVA just broke its own record for longest nuclear plant construction time. However, this time, the company failed to deliver a completed nuclear plant.
There were NO NEW NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS in the USA from 1996 to 2016. Twenty fucking years not a single one.
47 years since beginning construction, another Nuclear Power Plant gets ABANDONED in Alabama having NEVER become active and operational.
Now, almost five years later, TVA has announced it has abandoned its unfinished two-reactor Bellefonte nuclear plant in Alabama, a breathtaking 47 years after construction began.
Taxpayers in South Carolina got fucked. They were charged $9 billion through taxes, fees in their utility bills, etc. to get a nuclear power plant. $9 billion later it was abandoned.
17 Nuclear Projects FAILED and were CANCELED in the USA since the year 2012 costing BILLIONS and BILLIONS and BILLIONS of dollars flushed down the drain.
Nuclear power plants are not stupid. But Americans are too stupid to build them.
they know how to build them. the media and other LOW iq mental midgets scared the SHIT out of people on "the dangers of nuclear power" and now everyone thinks nuclear power plants are like a hiroshima waiting to happen. it's fucking insane just how DUMB people really are
New nuclear plants are stupid? They're the only answer that makes sense.
No one in the USA really knows how to build them.
It takes 40+ years to build one and it costs tens of billions of dollars. And often times the projects get abandoned.
