- non-entity 7y agoLived there for about 2 years while that was going down. Constructions cost was offloaded to consumers in the from of energy cost increases. It was very controversial. I dont recall the details of why it failed, but iirc, it was also around the same time as the Westinghouse bankruptcy and it ended in the only F500 company headquartered in the Columbia area being bought. I knew a few people working there as contractors who lost a job. It's kinda sad we cant seem to finish projects like this. Nuclear energy seems one of the best bets at transitioning to renewable.
