We are going to need more nuclear power in this state – hell we have been needing the 2300MW that the last facility as supposed to provide. We just need to make it clear that there are no tax dollars that are going to be permitted for a new venture unless and until it becomes operational. All consequences of project failure need to ride on the backs of the companies building the projects – unlike the last attempt when SC received the “Rankin Spankin”
Why is Will critical of them rethinking nuclear but all for giving the utilities more money to expand natural gas?
The sad part is, nuclear is probably our best option long term if we want to get rid of fossil fuel consumption and the increase in carbon and other emissions, and it isn’t like Americans don’t know how to produce nuclear power plants. The fact that so many in public and private hierarchies are using this to rip off taxpayers and ratepayers alike is just indicative of how our system fails the working class.
If you took the profitability out of this mess, the greedy bastards would flee and maybe, maybe you could actually get reactors working at some point.
And yet Georgia Power/Southern Company completed their 2 units-which are mirror images of what SCANA was “trying” to build. BTW,the latest 2 units SCANA walked off from were in addition to TWO others they abandoned in the 70s. GPC now has 4 nukes on line at Plant Vogtle.
