Utility Rates and Nuclear Plant Costs Press Critics
South Carolina consumer advocate Steven Hamm notes SCE&G built the VC Summer plant in the 1970s on rising demand projections. The plant will run with only 55 percent capacity on hot days, while costs have ballooned from 200 million to about six times that. Widespread issues including oil shocks, inflation, safety delays after Three Mile Island, and high interest rates burden utilities and push conservation over expansion. The piece cites Long Island Lighting Co and the Shoreham plant as similar examples of anticipated rate hikes and strained finances.

Steel Industry Problems Are Home Grown
Smith Hempstone argues U.S. steel woes stem from high labor costs and outdated plants, not imports. He notes anti-dumping actions target Europe, while Japan and others with low costs gain share. even full import bans won’t restore health. Wages and benefits push costs to about $23 an hour vs Japan's $13, with demand shrinking as autos and appliances switch to cheaper materials. Unemployment rises, capacity sits at 43 percent, and a stalled labor contract worsens the outlook as the industry seeks relief from Washington.
