Wattage Wednesday: Supercharge Your Midweek with Atomic Facts! ⚛️💡 Did you know? Three Mile Island Unit 1, not its infamous twin, was a powerhouse pressurized water reactor that lit up Pennsylvania from 1974-2019. And guess what? It had zero involvement in the 1979 mishap. In its prime, it contributed a whopping 8% of Pennsylvania's nuclear-generated electricity. But here's the TMI (Too Much Information) twist: Why did such a stellar performer bow out? Blame it on the tempting allure of dirt-cheap natural gas and hefty renewable subsidies, plus a sprinkle of legislative hesitance to offer minor subsidies. But hold onto your atoms! The plant's still in good shape and could make a comeback. If Palisades can reboot, TMI's prospects shine even brighter! ⚡🔋🌍 #WattageWednesday #ThreeMileIsland #GenerationAtomic
