new-new or do reopened plants count?

@JoshYou i think reopening plants that were understood to be decomissioned will still count as new

I presume this counts? https://www.constellationenergy.com/newsroom/2024/Constellation-to-Launch-Crane-Clean-Energy-Center-Restoring-Jobs-and-Carbon-Free-Power-to-The-Grid.html

@DrGlebTsipursky yes, if TMI Unit 1 comes online, I will count that as “new”

@JesWolfe you should put this in the description because this is very very different from an entirely new plant.

@Philip3773733 if Three Mile has been decommissioned for my entire lifetime, and it comes back online, there is no meaningful sense in which that is “the same” plant, is there?

@JesWolfe the reactor that is now being renewed was shut down in 2019

@Philip3773733 oh. hmmm. well, in the unlikely event that this actually happens I will make a judgement call
