3. Not that it matters, but here's 30 billion dollars.

The exact number is not the point, since it is bound to go up anyway. Cost is not relevant, and hasn't been since we found out "too cheap to meter" was a tiny exaggeration. Now the plants are too expensive to meter because billing rate payers cannot generate enough money. It's far better to socialize the burden, since the primary goal should be to decarbonize power generation. We're attacking climate change and pollution, not looking for a bargain. It's not fair or realistic to expect Georgia Power customers to pay for a nationwide project of such enormous proportions.
