Stop the Pa Taxpayer Nuclear Bailout

We are about to be taken by the Legislature again, if we don't stand up and yell bloody murder!

The push is on in the Pennsylvania Legislature to bail out the nuclear reactors, Exelon in particular. Apparently, this is the Legislature paying back Exelon for all the campaign money they have given the politicians.


I urge readers to contact their Representative, Senator, the Governor and the PA PUC and demand NO NUCLEAR BAILOUT!

Under no circumstances should the nuclear industry in Pennsylvania be bailed out in any amount for any reason.

We are being extorted by Exelon with scare tactics and bullying. Exelon considers Pennsylvania a cash cow, and now they want to milk us even more. Ratepayers have had their electric bills go up wherever state governments have knuckled under to the nuclear lobby and bailed them out. There is no reason the free market can't sort out the problems Exelon is having. It is not the ratepayers' fault that Exelon is losing money on some reactors, it is Exelon's own fault for bad management. And it's not the ratepayers' responsibility to open their wallets to give Exelon the profit they seek.

Pennsylvania already has some of the highest electric rates in the country, courtesy of the PA PUC and the inability or unwillingness of the Legislature to protect the ratepayer. If they allow a bailout of Exelon or any other nuclear company, they will be betraying every ratepayer in the Commonwealth.
Sign the petition. Stop the nuclear bailout!
