Nuclear restart attracts interest
In this mention
TVA consultants report serious interest from multiple private firms in financing the restart of Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant Unit 1. Senate Minority Leader Trent Lott introduced legislation requiring TVA to seek congressional and OMB approval before borrowing for new power plants. Stephen Smith of the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy praised Lott's bill as important oversight of TVA's debt management and a positive development for ratepayers.
If the minority leader of the Senate says he wants to see a plan on how to reduce debt, that's about as big a shot across the bow as you can get without George Bush delivering the message
