Expensive Nuke Plants in OH, PA Launch Attack on Cheaper NatGas

Nuclear power plants, which are heavily regulated, can no longer compete in the free and open market--so they've decided to seek new laws to protect their revenue stream. That is, they hope to use laws to do what they can't do in the free marketplace--force electric ratepayers to fund their more expensive source of electricity, and erect barriers for natural gas-fired electric plants (i.e. "re-regulation" of the electric industry). It's sleazy and disgusting, but it's happening. The nuke lobby has been successful in places where there's corruption--like New York and Illinois. Now the nuke lobby is trying it in Ohio and Pennsylvania. Will they fall next?...
