Spain's Sanchez Tells ‘Ultra-Rich' Executives to Pay for Nuclear
Spain's high-earning electricity executives should pay the cost to keep nuclear plants running if they don't want to shut them down, Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said, as he seeks to deflect criticism over a record power outage.
One condition to review a plan to close nuclear power plants is that it's financially viable 'and not at a cost to taxpayers' pockets but at a cost to the pockets of the ultra-rich executives who run the energy companies that own nuclear plants,' Sanchez said Wednesday in Parliament, speaking about the outage for the first time since last week.
