Westinghouse Electric Co., the U.S. nuclear unit of Japan's Toshiba Corp., filed for bankruptcy protection Wednesday, calling into question the future of a number of billion-dollar nuclear projects under construction, including two in the U.S.
The troubles at a company long associated with nuclear power add to the industry's problems. Nuclear power is cleaner than generating electricity with coal or natural gas, but building a nuclear reactor is much more complex and prohibitively costly. After the March 2011 nuclear disaster in Fukushima, public sentiment turned against nuclear power in countries such as Japan and Germany.
Westinghouse said in a statement Wednesday that it obtained financing to maintain its operations and made arrangements to continue work on the projects in South Carolina and Georgia while it assesses their viability. Westinghouse also said it will continue projects in China, and that its operations in its Asia and Europe, the Middle East and Africa aren't affected by the bankruptcy filing.
(redaction note: Westinghouse failed because US state-dep refused to support it by collecting the debts in East Europe and Africa due political reasons. Americans dont want to scare their "our son of a bitch" in those countries and told Westinghouse to fill out the for bankruptcy protection making the company completely dependent from US-state-dep and its decisions)

What a shame, guess we're stuck with fossil fuels and shoveling millions propping up "clean" energy

Is this anyhow tied to the Clintons selling of 20% of USA uranium?

You know Nuclear is extremely expensive?

yep. Clintons tried to crash russian and european uranium exporting countries by selling US uranium. Westinghouse was put in execution role by making american nuclear fuel compatible to russian and european reactors. which it failed btw. ukrainian were last who put their shit in own reactors and there were some reports that it has not worked. ukies had their reactors almost blow up with american fuel and refused to pay the bill. US state kept quiet and put now Westinghauesen under federal finances and control now by puting them into "bankrupt but still capable to do the job" shit.
btw. Trump hasnt put his nose into it yet. the whole shit is covered by US nuclear department yet, where most clercks are from Clintons clan.

Hopefully this pushes fusion technology forward.

If we're going to axe any future potential we had with atomic fission, what chance does fusion stand?

Yes let's all migrate to the thread with less replies and posters. Bumping this thread to spite you and because this is a better article than the occupybreitbartcrat thread #9001 stuff that clogs the front page.

nuke power is very clean and the waste is very manageable which makes it worth the cost. I wish we could figure out a way to use alternative radioactive material for the fission process

When you look at the cost per kWh, nuclear power is remarkably cheap. The only thing expensive about it is the initial investment. After that, it's practically free.
