Exelon looking to close uneconomic nuclear reactors

Exelon is considering shutting down at least three of its uneconomic nuclear power plants -- at Clinton, Quad Cities and Byron. Exelon Corp. owns and operates 11 reactors at six nuclear energy facilities in Illinois. Exelon is trying to point the finger at "energy policies that benefit renewable wind energy" but in reality, nuclear -- especially single units -- is becoming steadily more uneconomical and impractical.
