“Georgia, supposedly under woke Republican leadership, invested in nuclear power and is now benefiting from the opening of a big nuclear plant.”
Uh.... The Vogtle nuclear plant began construction in 1976, when Democrats ran everything in that State.

***********
So Georgia Democrats build nuclear power plants that Texas Republicans are too asleep to build?
Vogtle units 1 and 2 were started in the late 70s, and have been on line for many years.
Units 3 and 4 started construction much more recently, with unit 3 reaching commercial operation a month or two ago, and unit 4 soon to reach the same status.
Before that, the most recent nuclear generating unit to be added to the nation’s fleet was TVA’s Watts Bar unit 2, which had been started decades ago, and its construction halted for decades. It’s basically the completion of an 80s era nuclear plant, but is fully functional and a sister unit to Watts Bar unit 1.
