Fla.'s Nuclear Future Flickers as Duke Backs Away From Reactor

In this mention

Duke Energy indefinitely postpones construction of two nuclear reactors in Levy County, Florida, citing federal licensing delays and economic concerns. George Cavros of the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy argues that FPL's Turkey Point expansion is no longer economically feasible compared to lower-cost alternatives, citing changed economic conditions since 2008 applications and the impact of cheap natural gas and renewable energy options.

Our contention is the plant is no longer feasible when compared to lower-risk, lower-cost options
