To be FAIR and reflect true costs ALL Billing should be TOU .. Time of Use. Economics of Central Generation continue to be shattered by Distributed Generation. Spent fuel NEEDS to be Casked and re-located under ground when ready. Oh wait, Funds collected from rate payers evaporated in the 2008 Econ meltdown. Its Simple: You relocate spent fuel out of "Pools in shacks" to a safe underground place Or you relocate populations.

Crude is all over the place depending on source. The gov is now calling all liquids "oil" even moonshine. Oil from Shale deposits - aka. LTO makes little Diesel.

Grew up with those who Fab the Reactors, No one would have built them if they imangianed the indecision to secure this Hell . Moving spent rods to a secure location is the most important job the gov could do.. period. Get all 5 year+ rods in Casts RIGHT F#@K*$# NOW. While we can afford to do so. So what if it costs a penny or 2 per kWh for a decade. Cheap compaired to the risk of unzipping the very fabric of life, which is a dead certainity if left in unsecured pools. Short a single truckload load of diesel to cool the pools? HELL of a way for all life forms/carbon based units to live/die. When we build these things, we did not fully understand DNA. It's not Rocket Science to pick up after our mess. We must make it clear and demand to get all 5 year+ rods in Casts no matter where they are.
