Officials: Backlash Spreading in Florida Against "Nuclear Cost Recovery" Financing Scheme for Proposed Reactors Unlikely to Ever Be Built

While this is a great deal for Progress Energy and FPL's shareholders and executives, it is horrible for Florida consumers and businesses. We believe that this law gives entirely too much discretion to the PSC, which has been arbitrarily approving everything the utilities have asked for each year. Therefore, we are asking the Florida State Supreme Court to protect consumers against this nuclear power tax scam by declaring the law unconstitutional.”

Nuclear Regulatory Commission Suspends New Licenses, Renewals
“We're pleased with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's ruling; it is long overdue. Nuclear power is not a clean generating source when it creates long-lived radioactive and toxic waste that has no long-term safe disposal technology in place.
