MIAMI (AP) — Federal officials have reversed a decision to allow a South Florida nuclear power plant to continue running for another 30 years by ordering a new review of potential environmental risks, including those posed by climate change.
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission issued an order Thursday to reverse a 2019 decision by a previous, Republican-led commission to extend Florida Power & Light’s operating license for two reactors at the Turkey Point nuclear power plant until 2052 and 2053, respectively. The reactors have been operating since 1972 and 1973, respectively.
The reversal gives environmental groups a chance to reiterate concerns that federal regulators didn’t adequately consider the risks of climate change and flooding from sea level rise when granting the last extension. The NRC plans to hold hearings after staff completes a new site-specific environmental impact statement.
Besides the reversal at Turkey Point, the NRC also reversed a license extension for the Peach Bottom nuclear plant in Pennsylvania. Days after taking office in January 2021, President Joe Biden named Democrats to take over the NRC and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. The agencies have been reevaluating decisions made by Republican-led panels under former President Donald Trump, including the 2019 decision on Turkey Point.

This is absurd.
Sea level rise that isn’t happening presently.
These idiots would have us freezing/sweating in the dark, unable to travel for business or pleasure.
Feds targeting Florida again.
Time to Succeed and build an flippin’ wall.
Well it’s 150 new EV that cannot be charged
The RAT party needs to be declared a domestic terrorist organization, completely outlawed within our boundaries and run out of the country on a rail and never to return under the duress of being publicly hanged.
Brandon punishing Florida.
LOL...the ONE source of energy that actually helps mitigate climate change and the DOE wants to SHUT IT DOWN.
You are right...that IS absurd. But it is also "Braindead Brandon at work".
“Well it’s 150 new EV that cannot be charged”
Closer to a million, but I get your point.
The bit here is that humanity has only two base load generators, dams and nukes, that don’t emit that nasty, nasty CO2 (i.e., the stuff that is fundamental to all life, but I digress). Dams are sorta limited by geography. So, nukes are the only way to support civilization.
Ah, there is the reason why treehuggers fight this — they don’t support civilization. They want all of YOU dead — since you too frequently engage in wrongthink.
The treehuggers have been against nukes for ideological reasons, no science involved — just like with global warming, the fake vax, etc. None of their data stand up to scrutiny on any of these subjects.
This is retaliation. biden is using his power to harass his enemies.
Further proof that the agenda is about ecoterrorism and not about the people. They want to shut down all electricity production except from “clean” sources and then will complain when they can’t charge their Teslas because the grid is down again.
“Feds rescind license extension for Florida nuclear plant”
If I worked were Putin, I’d be laughing my ass off.
Biden and company want us to return to the stone age.
5.56mm
Putin applauds. Dependence on wind/solar makes us much more vulnerable.
Fascists.
1 plant can charge a million EVs and power the lights ? Dang that’s wonderful. Let’s put up more windmills and solar panels
They will not be happy until we are all living next to a campfire like cavemen to survive. In their irrational minds electricity grows on trees.
Deep State’s war on DeSantis and Floridians continues apace...
“Biden and company want us to return to the stone age.”
Yep, short and simple the end goal.
