I have a large number of nuclear power corps on FB that are not selling their production. All of them as it stands has 2 months worth of production that isn't selling for apparently no reason. The demand has been solid in the red and hasn't gone green in over 12 months although for the last game year corps I have checked have turned a profit of less than -1T last year. I have noticed production sitting in the corp on at least a few different occasions you can see the pattern here.

I think this behavior if not isolated to my own corps, and instead corps in general may be the reason many ceos are finding

My Corps are still refusing to sell the product. The demand is there. This is just tanking my CEO. I made a 4 billion dollar LOSS.

On KB, it is impossible to turn a profit with nuke-power. After I lost 15-35 Billion/year, each, for 20 game years, I finally closed them down. ( I wanted to really give them a chance :) ). Even as a state corp they lose money. I sell electric and buy nuke ( strategic stock); as far as being able to make any profit with nuclear power, I have yet to see it.

Yeah I hear you Maclean. This kind of problem with corps is typical of a wide range of products on FB. Too many corporation products are unstable as far as profit even while in shortage. With all the tinkering w3 is doing this doesn't make sense. These issues need to be addressed.

With nuclear power on FB it appears that the product won't sell for 2 months consecutively regardless of what trade strategy is used. I've reduced my overall sale strategies twice and it has had no effect.

As far as I can see the issue with this is the product not selling for two months even as the market sits in the red and deep red as it was a few days ago -83million demand and still my nuke power corps wouldn't release the production.

Yeah, I forgot to add that this seems to be the selling pattern with nuke power. I noticed the same thing, that it sold product only 3 or 4 times a year. This made a financial pattern of -10B, -10B, +15B, -14B, etc.

That's what it looks like; as in real life, "green" technology had better be competitive with other business or it won't be adopted, and therefore is useless. Possibly the GM could simulate the evolution of technology by making i.e. nuke power competitive with electric, over time. And don't do what comes easiest and simply force us to use it whether we want it or not...

i WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT BY COMING IN AT A DISCOUNT WHEN COMPARED TO ELECTRIC POWER, NUCLEAR POWER WAS COMPETING

Ok, it is when you are buying it off the world market, but just try to make it yourself and see how it goes...I think that so far, the supply fairy is supplying all the nuclear power, at least on KB. I could be wrong.
