Energy Net
Since 1983, consumers in South Carolina and other states with nuclear power plants have paid a special fee on their electricity bills to cover the costs of a long-planned national repository for radioactive waste.
The fee has generated more than $30 billion for the federal government's Nuclear Waste Fund over the years, according to the Department of Energy. South Carolina's contribution was more than $1.2 billion at the end of last year.
