The United States is one of the least expensive places to build a power facility
What will be an ideal response?
At one time, utilities thought that nuclear power stations would be relatively
inexpensive everywhere, but new U.S. regulations tightened and made capital costs very
high. Addition of antipollution controls to coal-fired power plants made them much more
expensive in capital. Overall, the U.S. is one of the most expensive places to build
generating facilities.
