Vermont Yankee on the ropes

<< < (4/6) > >>

let-it-ride:
All the utilities should bend to the people's wishes. Why not? The people speak and you should follow. Close all those New England power plants.
THEN...next year when the cost of just about everything goes up you can say "you asked for it'.
Forget about losing the jobs. You are not important. The masses are. You can be taken care of by the new government. Of course you will be making much less. But The People Have Spoken. Nuff said.

ISOCS:
VY will stay open because all they have to do is keep the request for an extension open. Even if it gets turned down they can keep it in the courts for a dozen years.

walstib:
They voted to close down one of the best plants I ever worked at - Rancho Seco in California mid 80's (which is why I still smile when they have black outs and other energy problems).  Zion management kept their heads in the sand saying we're too important to be closed down, look how close to Chicago we are, they need us.  You saw what that end result was.  Vermont is a beautiful state but mainly far left tree huggers living there so don't think the people won't push to shut VY down once the license runs out.   

retired nuke:
Well, the NRC is going to issue us the license extension.

Word just came through on their news feed....

Now to get the state (and we are the only ones that have this issue) to agree with it...

But things is lookin up !!

Slow down there Koop, you just keep that horse of yours tied up right where you're at. There aint gonna be no decommissioning at VY anytime soon. Like in the next 20 years or so, by then you'll be old and gray. That there plant has a lot of cheap, clean, green electricity left in her. Even tree huggers are starting to see that.
