 Keeping open nuclear plants that were already scheduled to close sounds like bad policy to me, anyway. Sure, nuclear is good, but context is important. Most plants in the US are forty-plus years old; their designs are terribly outdated and many of them have been operating longer than they were originally designed to be able to. As we bring new capacity online with safer and hardier modern designs, we really should be retiring some of the older plants. Although NIMBYism does influence nuclear plant closures, odds are good that at least some of those plants up for closing really ought to be put to rest.
