OPG Seeking 180% Price Increase for Nuclear Electricity

Ontario Power Generation (OPG) is seeking permission from the Ontario Energy Board to increase the price of its nuclear power by 11% per year for each of the next ten years.

Of course, every nuclear project in Ontario’s history has been massively over budget.
