Follow the Money http://fairewinds.org/content/follow-money

A closer look at how the utilities screw the public. This week's show is all about money. We look at how some utility owned U.S. nuclear power plants continue to drain the public's pocketbook, sometimes to the tune of fifty million dollars a month, without generating a single watt of electricity.

Crystal River unit 3 Cracked containment in Florida - plant shut down in 2009 costing rate payers approx 50 MILLION dollars a Month to pay workers at a NON OPERATING Plant. It's been shut down approx. 4 Years! Is it Really Cost Effective? The Owner Progress Energy sees no economic sense and decided to shut it down for good.

Georgia Vogel plants will cost the ratepayers 20 Billion dollars EACH for the construction of the plants, which, by the way, are a FLAWED DESIGN. See this video for more the design flaw they intend to build there with the AP1000 reactors.

About this video:
Fairewinds was retained by the AP1000 Oversight Group to evaluate the AP1000 design for flaws that are now evident as a result of the nuclear accidents at Fukushima. The NRC's refusal to thoroughly examine these flaws is reminiscent of the Atomic Energy Commission's refusal in 1972 to thoroughly examine the innate flaws in the GE Mark 1 containment systems that failed at Fukushima. The AP1000 Oversight Group is demanding that these design flaws be remedied prior to design certification, lest history repeat itself.
