Exelon Mulls Closure of Unprofitable Quad Cities Nuke Plant

The company says the two-reactor plant in northwestern Illinois is losing money because of high costs of moving electricity along transmission lines shared with wind power and increased competition from lower-cost natural gas-fired plants.
