They fucked up San onofre so bad it's now being decommissioned ๐Ÿ˜ก

It was a $680mill job, and SoCal Edison (SCE) had such an inept legal team, they missed a term in the contract with Mitsubishi which limited payout for failure within the 20yr warranty to $125mill.

Can you fucking believe that shit? I only found this out after investigating why there was a $3 "decommissioning fee" on my first electric bill after moving to California.
