Public schools still paying for Vogtle

April 11, 2018 By Better Georgia Staff 2 Comments

Public schools still paying for Vogtle

Public schools shouldn’t be stuck with the bill for what’s now been dubbed the “Plant Vogtle Vortex,” named as such because money and time seem to disappear into the black hole of Georgia Power’s failed project. The nuclear power plant is years behind schedule and is billions of dollars over budget. A bill passed in 2009… [Read More]

Stop paying for Plant Vogtle, replace corrupt Public Service Commissioners

Plant Vogtle continues to be a testament to corporate greed and government cronyism at the cost of $91 million per month for ratepayers. The project is five years behind schedule and billions of dollars over budget. Georgia Power/Southern Company executives are giving themselves millions of dollars in annual bonuses (on top of their salaries), while… [Read More]

PSC continues to give Georgia Power the green light

PSC continues to give Georgia Power the green light

The PSC continues to give Georgia Power the green light on Plant Vogtle. Georgia Power will rake in billions of dollars in profit because the PSC continues to allow the company to finance their failures on the backs of ratepayers. All of this despite many critics of Plant Votgle saying Georgia doesn’t even need more… [Read More]

New proposal would force Georgia Power to pay for Plant Vogtle

New proposal would force Georgia Power to pay for Plant Vogtle

A new proposal, SB355, which boasts bipartisan support, would prevent utilities from collecting finance fees for a project beyond its initial completion date. This would be a huge blow to Georgia Power whose Plant Vogtle project is five years past schedule and $22 billion over budget. This bill would shift the cost burden for the… [Read More]

Public Service Commissioners are trying to buy your vote

After years of allowing Georgia Power to swindle its ratepayers to fund the Plant Vogtle disaster, the Public Service Commissioner is making the corporation send three $25 refunds to their ratepayers, right before the PSC’s 2018 elections. The motion to approve continued investment in the nuclear project, authored by Tim Echols, includes this command: “The… [Read More]

Ga. Power gets green light at Vogtle, after leaving airport in the dark

From The AJC: “Georgia’s Public Service Commission has voted unanimously to allow continued construction of two nuclear reactors at Georgia Power’s embattled Plant Vogtle, which is billions of dollars over budget and years behind schedule.” The PSC has once again shown voters that they will always side with corporate greed over working Georgians. Fortunately, two… [Read More]

Tell the Ga. PSC to end the Plant Vogtle disaster

Georgia Power will rack up billions of dollars in cost overruns for its disastrous Plant Vogtle expansion, and over the past seven years, it has passed the cost of this debacle onto its consumers — that’s every Georgian that uses the monopoly’s service. Two weeks ago, the Georgia Public Service Commission held a week’s worth of… [Read More]
