Nuclear Power in Georgia: A Closer Look at Plant Vogtle
http://www.consumerenergyreport.com/
Our focus on emerging energy issues has carried us to Burke County, Ga., a sparsely populated community of more than 22,000, located 25 miles south of Augusta. Burke County now finds itself at the center of the Obama administration’s emphasis on nuclear power as a viable answer to America’s energy predicament.
Georgia Power, a subsidiary of Southern Company, provides 15 percent of Georgia's power through Plant Vogtle. Plant Vogtle will be the first nuclear license to be issued in 30 years if granted a license by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and it will be the only site in the U.S. with four reactors.
