Indeed, the OVEC coal plants have been selling electricity for less than it costs to generate for a decade, operating at a loss since 2012. At the same time, an audit of the subsidies found that purchasing energy and capacity from regional wholesale markets is cheaper than power from the OVEC plants.

Some scientists proposed using nuclear reactors to study this neutrino oscillation, since reactors are well-understood neutrino sources, and Luk realized it could be the best way to solve the theta-13 problem. Originally from Hong Kong, Luk also knew about the Daya Bay nuclear power plant and added it to his list.

Many civil disobedience activists in the 1960s and 70s attempted to use it to justify their illegal actions in protests over foreign wars or nuclear power, for example, but achieved little to no success. Often raised in emergency situations where illegal actions might save life or limb, the defense can also be controversial.

should maintain and expand its fleet of highly-reliable, carbon-free, and 94 percent efficient nuclear power plants. Bad policies have unfairly and counterproductively undermined the economics of nuclear power plants, including those that prevented wider power outages during the recent cold weather crisis.
