Big money, nuclear subsidies, and systemic corruption - Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists: The speaker of the house of the state of Ohio and four other defendants were charged in July 2020 with racketeering in regard to a $1.5 billion bailout of nuclear power plants in return for $61 million in "dark money.” Ohio is not alone in its nuclear energy corruption. The same month, Commonwealth Edison (ComEd), a subsidiary of Exelon, was charged with bribery to “Public Official A,” Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan, who has denied wrongdoing.
