  • they can't operate past 2012 without the state legislature approving it, and they already denied it. they will have to either do a revote or get a judge to rule in their favor if they want to keep operating

  • "On March 21, 2011 the Nuclear Regulatory Commission issued their renewal of the operating license for the Vermont Yankee plant for an additional 20 years.; the renewed license will expire March 21, 2032" - From Wikipedia.

    Right in the middle of the Fukushima disaster the NRC grants another 20 years to an old, trouble ridden plant. That takes the cake.

  • what can one do about it?

    how to get involve?

    how to spread the word?

    thanksfor posting this, very simple and informative for regular person like me.
