"Cost overruns" is underselling it - according to what I can find online it seems like the cost nearly doubled from 14B to 27B.
I've never seen a public/private setup like this actually yield benefit for the consumer.

The post office doesn't make you money, it ensures communication and logistics. Roads don't make you money, they undergird the economy. Nuclear power doesn't save you money on your power bill. It establishes energy independence for our country and clean power for our atmosphere.
