FPL announces halt to two new reactors!

FPL announces halt to two new reactors!
Background: In what appears to be a major victory for anti-nuclear efforts in Florida, the state's Public Utility Commission (PUC) has rejected Florida Power and Light's (FPL) request for a major electricity rate increase, which would have largely gone to pay for two new Toshiba-Westinghouse AP-1000 reactors at its Turkey Point nuclear power plant near Miami. FPL responded by halting its plans to pursue the two new reactors past the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission licensing phase.
Our View: This victory is all the more significant, in that the State of Florida had already empowered its PUC to approve "Construction Work in Progress," (CWIP) charging ratepayers on their bills in advance to build new reactors, many years before any electricity is actually delivered. However, the PUC has decided to refuse such charges. Continued anti-nuclear vigilance will be required, though, as FPL’s resolve to continue the NRC licensing proceeding indicates it will undoubtedly try again to force its ratepayers to bear the financial burdens and risks of building new reactors, while offering little to none of the projected profits in return. Federal nuclear power loan guarantees could also provide FPL the financial boost it needs to build the reactors, so continued pressure on Congress and the White House to block any such expansion is needed. David Kraft of Nuclear Energy Information Service in Chicago asserts that this Florida PUC decision could well set back the nuclear power relapse nation-wide.
What You Can Do: Take heart from such victories, and keep up the good work against the nuclear relapse! Despite this success in Florida, the States of South Carolina and Georgia have also approved CWIP for new reactors. In addition, nuclear power lobbyists are still prowling the halls of Congress and pressuring the White House to expand federal loan guarantees for new reactors by $100 billion or more in pending climate and energy legislation. Continue to urge your Members of Congress (202-224-3121) and President Obama (202-456-1111) to allow no such transfer of financial risks onto the American taxpayer!Beyond Nuclear Bulletin January 14, 2010 Top Stories FPL announces halt to... more
