The nukes in MD have already been written off and no new ones are being built. Our local utility is also very solar friendly and pays me market rates for my PV generated roof top power. I can never understand why the southern tier of states - including AZ and NV -as well as FL and its neighbors - are so unwelcoming to solar energy. There are literally thousands of high skill jobs they are missing out on.
