CPS announces Nuke-tricity® program for supporters of nuclear power. Coaltricity® on the way!

CPS Energy recently announced a new sister program to Windtricity® and Solartricity® which allow ratepayers to encourage clean renewable safe electric generation.

CPS's Nuke-tricity® program will allow individual ratepayers to participate in the risk of a nuclear investment in a real and tangible way. When the expanded South Texas Nuclear Project begins producing electricity, members of Nuke-tricity will receive electricity at the exact total cost of production.



But before a nuclear plant can produce electricity, Toshiba, contractors and attorneys must be paid. Nuclear power is not attractive to traditional investors who are interested in gaining "profit" and avoiding "loss" but by enrolling in Nuke-tricity ratepayers will be able to provide part of the needed funds.

Once enrolled in Nuke-tricity®, ratepayers will at once be required to invest a substantial sum from their savings or a second mortgage on their home or business. If the ratepayer has no tangible assets then they will obtain an unsecured loan or in the case of individuals a payday loan. The funds will be put toward NRG and CPS's South Texas Nuclear Project expansion. Although the project won't begin producing electricity for many years, rate payers will begin paying back the loan immediately. Of course every CPS ratepayer will have to begin paying back CPS's part of the project expansion immediately but Nuke-tricity members will show their commitment paying even more.

If the project fails for any reason, such as falling prices for other sources of energy, or due to construction problems similar to those experienced when the first part of the STP was built, then Nuke-tricity members will be able to lose the entire value of their "investment", in this case most likely their home, business or life's savings.

The anti-nuclear crowd says that the nuclear plant can have a terrible effect on ground water and water supplies. Nuke-tricity® members will show their support by agreeing to drink, bathe, cook and garden with water trucked in from Bay City. If anyone is required to curtail their water consumption due to the expansion of the nuclear project, then water supplies to Nuke-tricity® members will be cut to exactly the same extent. This will show the no-Nukes fringe that nuclear energy supporters are willing to risk their health on their belief in the competence nuclear power plant operators.

Similarly each year members will receive a measured dose of radiation exactly equal to the dosage received by the residents nearest the project.

Finally, critics point to the hundreds of thousands of years that nuclear waste must be stored and protected as a negative aspect of nuclear power. Nuke-tricity® members will show that they are willing to take responsibility for the waste by pledging themselves and and as many of their descendants as needed to devote their lives to guarding the nuclear waste pile for the the next six hundred thousand years, sort of like those guys in the Brendan Frasier Mummy movie who guarded the pyramid. Your descendants through the 600 millenia to come will surely appreciate that their sacrifice is a small price to pay for their predecessors to have enjoyed nuclear power for a brief period of time in the 21st century.
