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.

The state should immediately disconnect ALL federal Properties from the Grid until they pay their debts in Gold and Silver Coin as required under Article 1, section 10
It’s actually obama......but yes it is harassment just like what’s happening to Elon musk
Biden never sleeps, he is always thinking of another new way to SCREW the American citizenry
Environmental impacts due to climate change? I’m surprised they didn’t include the zombie apocalypse.
“1 plant can charge a million EVs and power the lights ? Dang that’s wonderful. Let’s put up more windmills and solar panels”
Not sure what windmills and panels has to do with nukes, but yes, a nuclear plant of several gigawatts can charge a million EVs.
Biden’s handlers never sleep. I bet Joe needs 14 hrs/day...
And provide all the other electrical need beyond EVs ?
Think about how absurd this decision is, the nuclear plant in question came online in 1972 and 1973, the permits would have allowed it operate for another 50 years or until 2072 or 2073, so this nuclear power plant could have operated for 100 years.
How many windmills and solar panels would it take to produce the same amount of power this nuclear plant would produce over 100 years in operation ??
Throw in the cost of the nuclear plant operating for 100 years versus the cost of windmills and solar panels for 100 years and I would be willing to guess the nuclear plant comes out far cheaper for the 100 years.
At this point, I would just let the demon administration know that I consider this a state of Florida matter and continue operating the plant regardless of threats and federal lines of control.
ignore them
tie it up in court.
you only give them power if you obey
it still can operate if the leftist totalitarian is ignored.
Nuclear Energy is THE BEST alternative if you really believe CO2 impacts "Climate Change".
Eventually they will be working down the food chain to the homeowner with a Trump sign in their yard in their harassment efforrs.
only if you obey
Let the lawsuits commence. This causes huge harm to the company running these things.
The government should have to go to court and show cause for revoking a license, permit, or contract before they are allowed to do so in all but the most urgent situations.
Another project that they utterly destroyed the companies involved in it is the Keystone XL pipeline. Once the contract is signed and the work commences, it should take a court order to stop it. You’re talking hundreds of millions or maybe billions of dollars of damage to companies like this- which could force them to file bankruptcy.
And ultimately, maybe thats what the goal is.
If Florida has any sense at all, they’ll never vote Democrat again.
Campfires will not be allowed and the lumber industry will be completely abolished to protect the forests.
The people you are talking about couldn’t afford a Tesla. If it ain’t a Subaru they don’t want it anyway.
