Ohio PUC orders FirstEnergy utilities to pay $250.7M over HB 6 bribery scandal
The decision “closes a chapter tied to activities that do not represent the company we are today,” according to FirstEnergy, which has paid $390 million in other fines related to the scandal.

Long lead and construction times of nuclear facilities, coupled with the fact that some stocks in the space with zero revenues are in nosebleed territory, has sent the sector into a tailspin. Nuclear and uranium stocks have pulled back sharply from recent highs, with many seeing double-digit losses
Nuclear Stocks Crash, With A Potential Payoff Still Years Away | OilPrice.com
Despite major investment pledges like the U.S.–Canada $80 billion reactor partnership, nuclear and uranium stocks have plunged 15–45% in recent weeks.

There is no zero risk when you’re exposed to radiation, even the smallest amounts of exposure can cause damage. Really what they’re doing is shifting the cost of dealing with radioactive pollution from themselves to us—at the cost of our health.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission may soon loosen radiation exposure safety standards at nuclear plants and operations. Experts warn the general public is unsafe.

Instead of making us more energy independent, operating TMI-1 would make us more dependent on Russian uranium. It’s not the answer to Pennsylvania’s energy needs; it’s a cost center, a resource drain, a morass of risk, and it’s needless.
