Yes it's just bad stigma. Right that's all it is.
Look I know friends and aquantances that work at Vogtle. It ain't stigma that sunk that shit.
They used the wrong rebar in the concrete pads for the reactors. I believe they had to tear it up and redo the pads. 3 billion over cost so far.
this is the same body that has been approving the cost overruns and project delays, with little consequence to Georgia Power. Commissioners are all publicly elected officials that serve staggered, six year terms, and, currently, they are all Republicans.
Georgia Power customers are already paying more than 9.7 percent on their monthly bills in Nuclear Construction Cost Recovery (NCCR) costs and over $1.8 billion in pre-collected financing costs have been charged to ratepayers due to anti-consumer state legislation passed in 2009 to incentivize building new reactors.
