[NukeNet] FPL nuclear plant

[Minimushomines at aol.com]

The staff of the Florida Public Service Commission has recommended that the  
FPL Turkey Point Nuclear Plant be approved.  Bob and myself are very  
disappointed, not only because of the recommendation for approval but that we  were 
the only anti-nuclear entity in the formal hearing and that none of  the big 
enviro groups with all the funding didn't, at least, make a token effort  to 
intervene.  This is the FIRST nuclear plant to get state permission  to go ahead 
in 30 years, this outcome stands as a precedent for other states and  other 
nukes and allows FPL, a member of the Nustart  Consortium, to go for the state 
and federal permits they need.  
We tried our best.
