The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is killing nuclear energy
“It’s simple economics. Nuclear has become obsolete.” writes Haley Zeremba, a journalist for Energy Central. “Decades of roadblocks and rising prices are standing in the way” of a viable nuclear industry, Business Insider adds. But just how simple are the economics? It is true that nuclear power comes with enormous up-front costs, and a new nuclear plant takes years to build. Even while the market is hungry for carbon-free sources of electricity, nuclear lags far behind the competition.

NFL DFS Week 3: Thursday Night Showdown Slate
Published: Sep 24, 2020 While tonight’s match-up between the Jaguars and the Dolphins isn’t what you would call marquee, it could still be a fun game to watch, especially when you think about struggling secondaries, gun-slinging quarterbacks and excessive facial hair.
