The
Douglas Administration is raising questions about the financial stability of
the new owners of the Vermont Yankee nuclear plant.
The
administration says the new company will be financially weak because it will have
to borrow billions of dollars.
But
the new questions are prompting critics to ask why the governor vetoed a recent
Vermont Yankee bill. The bill would have required the new owners to guarantee it
has enough money set aside to decommission the plant.
