Haney to TVA: You're wrong about Bellefonte, pushes to finish nuclear plant his way

In this mention

Developer Franklin Haney proposes a $10 billion public-private partnership to finance completion of TVA's unfinished Bellefonte nuclear plant in Northeast Alabama. TVA President Bill Johnson rejected the proposal, citing lack of near-term power demand and doubled cost estimates. Stephen Smith of the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy criticizes Haney for using political influence to personally profit from the deal.

This is not a time for political and parochial deals
