How can this be anything but a very expensive fad?
I see yet another Democrat wanting to take over more control of utilities. It's the job of utility companies to provide for the needs of their customers and they "don't need no help" from Democrats.
Gee why not just cover half the state with windmills and solar farms and the problem would be solved ( sarcasm).
They approved a big plant here in Morgan County Indiana just a couple of weeks ago and it was a huge fight against it but the county counsel finally gave the stamp to allow it to proceed.
Most of the opposition was coordinated by out-of-state protesters who coached everyone exactly what to protest about and every single negative possibility that could arise if it went through.
I guess the biggest concern is the cooling towers and the huge amount of water used in keeping them cool, but everything from noise, magnetic radiation, loss of farmland, road usage, power lines, were equally touted.
I look at it this way, they do know what they’re doing and putting in a billion + dollar facility they of course did their homework on the site feasibility before asking to proceed. I agree completely that absolutely anywhere they choose will be met with resistance, but to these professional naysayers it’s just on to the next site to scare the living hell out of them now that this one got approved.
