I feel like the only thing you did read was the headline... Westinghouse is a bit of a special case. There was accounting/financial fraud and they took on stupid fixed contracts that bit them in the ass when safety regulations forced them to spend more on design/construction. For as maligned as the nuclear industry is, a lot of this was self-inflicted.

The headline doesn't explain my comment of "sure Westinghouse made some bad deals". I completely acknowledge that Westinghouse is a bad company. But nuclear isn't dying just because this company is going under, there are a lot more pressures killing nuclear power.
