It's high school science 101, in an uncontrollable accident, the Phoenix metro area will have a real bad decade, to say the least

Yet another subject matter for your gloom and doom. You must go looking for new threads to invade.

Palo Verde is no different than any number of other plants in that respect. All the plants are "aging" as new ones are not being built. The odds of a major accident are so long that the benefits far outweigh that risk.

I think the OP has had their question answered.
