Nuclear power payment plan

This episode of Marketplace explores the economic angles behind several current stories. First, the rising interest in nuclear power as a potential relief for high electricity bills collides with the enormous construction costs, prompting a legislative debate in one state over whether taxpayers or utility companies should shoulder the financial risk. The show also previews Kevin Warsh’s first FOMC meeting as Federal Reserve chair amid war-driven inflationary pressures. Other segments cover how the MAHA movement is boosting demand for cotton, and how advertisers are tapping into World Cup viewership to target Latino consumers.
