Groups Unearth Documents On Vogtle
In this mention
Environmental groups including the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy obtained federal documents through FOIA requests revealing concerns about the financing of Southern Company's Vogtle nuclear plant expansion. SACE's Sara Barczak highlighted indications of political involvement in the $8 billion federally-backed loan process, drawing comparisons to the failed Solyndra loan guarantee. The groups are calling for greater transparency in the delayed and over-budget project.
A layman's look at what we received raised eyebrows. But now we have confirmation that there are indications of political involvement in the process that we believe needs to be looked into more.
