I usually favor states rights, but as a resident of Vermont I hope the jerks in charge lose their case.
This has been totally stupid. The plant was not maintained as well as it might have been, but mainly because they didn’t know if they would be allowed to stay open. Then the state politicians complain that it isn’t well maintained.
Meanwhile, our utility bills have taken a huge jump this year, because it turns out that their super “efficient” power from methane generated at a waste disposal site was helped along by $10 million in carbon cap money from Massachusetts, which they are no longer getting.
What a scam.
So you are saying they scrimped on maintaining a nuclear plant because they didn’t know if they’d get re-licensed? As much as I am for business making a profit that right there is BS!
