The problem isn't that westinghouse made a couple of bad deals. The problem is that westinghouse was completely incapable of finishing the nuclear plants anywhere near their budget or their scheduled time.
The cost overruns were absolutely ghastly and made the plants way too expensive. All the cost was charged to consumers on their electric bills. Nobody in their right mind will order more nuclear plants when they see the expensive disaster that the currently built nuclear plants are.

There is also no accountability on the part of the customer companies either.
The public service commission pretty much votes to allow ga power to pass the costs to the rate payer.
Georgia Rate payers are already paying for the cost of votgle 3&4 in the form of rate increases when their completion is no where in sight.
If one is curious to see raw corruption on full public display, it's a sure bet to attend a state PSC/PUC meeting. It doesn't matter whether it's telecom or energy or whatever, if they're open for business then they are truly open for business.
