RE: Environmental Groups: Close Yankee Plant Cheaper

["Wright, Bill" <aqbvw@techmail.admin.ttu.edu>]

Environmentalists & anti-nucs:
Go ahead & shut it down. I hope you have enough fuel oil to run your home
generator or do you wish to do what NY does? Import your electricity from
Canada's Nuclear Plants. Ask Sweden where they are/will get their
electricity from as they phase out their Nuclear Plants. From the graphite
moderated reactors east of Sweden-shades of Chernobyl.
Good luck!!!

Only my personal view.

		Environmental Groups: Close Yankee Plant Cheaper -
(BRATTLEBORO) -- 
		Should the Yankee Nuclear power plant simply be shut down?
That was 
		the proposal put to a meeting of several Vermont consumer
and 
		environmental groups last week. The groups agreed that the
cost of an 
		upcoming sale of the plant to AmerGen Energy will be borne
by 
		consumers, and that it would be cheaper to just close the
plant. The 
		groups include the Vermont Public Interest Research Group
and the New 
		England Coalition Against Nuclear Pollution. They plan to
work 
		against approval of the sale when hearings begin this week
before the 
		state Public Service Department.
