Welcome to IWETHEY!

New We're sitting on one
Local legislature is trying to shut it down, NRC and the operator are trying to get another 20 years out of it.

The scariest part about this one is that management is either totally incompetent or criminally negligent. Every word they utter is contradicted days later by something falling off the plant, springing a leak, etc.

Managment has been running a FUD campaign for months now promising that our electrical rates will go through the roof if the plant is shut down. Most of their electricity goes out of state already, plus they were going to charge VT utilities more than a premium for the privilege of getting some.
New :-(
Nuclear plants run fine until they don't. :-(

I suspect those plants will be phased out sooner than the utilities want, but of course the rate payers will bear the brunt of the costs no matter what.

Hang in there.

Cheers,
Scott.
