That’s for way more than just one plant, and there’s a lot more going on that resulted in such a high price tag. That isn’t normal.

No, that's pretty normal. Current experience with decommissioning German nuclear power plants show that the cost is about $1.2 billion per power plant, and that decommissioning takes about 20 years.

Of course it cost money to build, but now it’s just there.

That doesn't mean you simply get to ignore the $53 billion it cost to dig that hole.
