House OKs Georgia Power nuke bill
February 26, 2009 at 1:30 pm by Thomas Wheatley in News
After hours of debate, the Georgia House of Representatives passed a controversial bill that would allow Georgia Power to charge customers in advance for financing costs on two proposed nuclear reactors at Plant Vogtle.
The bill now moves back to the state Senate where it originated and passed by a wide margin. That chamber will then send it to Gov. Sonny Perdue’s desk for signature. The governor has not said whether he supports or opposes the measure. It merits a mention, however, that Perdue’s chief of staff is a former Georgia Power executive.
Full list of how lawmakers voted will be posted when it’s available.

Hmmmm…..this does sound like a shady funding scheme. However, liberals need to realize they are 100% wrong on opposing nuclear power.
The fucking founder of Greenpeace has. That’s right – the founder of an organization dedicated to stopping nuclear power has admitting he was wrong.

Silly Atlanta/Decatur liberals – they don’t even know hippest liberal stances.

I wish I could say this will doom the Republicans in 2010, because it probably should. But it won’t.
