Vermont Yankee Decommissioning Fund
The House has given final approval to a bill that says the owners of Vermont Yankee would have to make sure there's enough money available to cover the full cost of dismantling the plant when it eventually ceases operation. The bill means the owners, Entergy Nuclear, have to get a line of credit or put several hundred million dollars into a decommissioning fund to cover the costs. Bob Kinzel talks with lobbyist, Bob Stannard and Rep. Joyce Errecart about what the bill means for Entergy and ratepayers, and whether the governor will veto the legislation. (Listen)
