More Parenteau environmental arrogance. The same kind of arrogance that got Sorrel and Shumlin in trouble. None of these arguments would prevail.
The radical enviros like Parenteau are used to tangling with businesses that don't have the green to battle it out and so cave or compromise when specious arguments like Parenteau is suggesting are made because the cost of battling it out is too high. Entergy won't fold.
Parenteau has been a left wing enviro so long he has lost his perspective on reality.

For the last time, Entergy already won in Vermont Environmental Court over heat addition to the CT river.
Yes, you can find many lawsuits against Entergy. You can also find many lawsuits naming every corporation in this country.
Did you not notice that Entergy won the last case you linked?
Well Done!

Fact:
You have a right to your own opinion but not your own facts.
VT nor any other state has to allow river water temp to be exceeded by 1 degree. I should think you would have brains enough to at least recognize it wouldn't be an issue w/o some facts. I suggest you do a little research, we've been over this before. Sorry you're still too dumb to get it. Kindly get your facts straight dummy.

UPDATE 2-Entergy cooperating in DOJ probe of utilities
Tue Oct 12, 2010 4:03pm EDT
* Justice Dept looking at utilities in four states
* Investigation covers wide range of utility operations
By Eileen O'Grady
HOUSTON, Oct 12 (Reuters)- Utility owner Entergy Corp (ETR.N) said on Tuesday it is cooperating with a U.S. Department of Justice civil investigation into the company's competitive practices.

Entergy found to have overcharged customers
POSTED: 02:01 PM Monday, December 13, 2010
BY: The Associated Press
BATON ROUGE — A federal regulatory judge has ruled that electric utility Entergy Corp. overcharged customers in four states by selling higher priced power to its own subsidiaries.

Entergy's criminal behavior goes way back:
ENTERGY LOUISIANA, INC. v. LOUISIANA PUBLIC SERVICE COMM.
David W. Carpenter
(Argued the cause for the petitioner)
Austin C. Schlick
(Department of Justice, argued the cause for the United States, as amicus curiae, supporting the petitioner)
Michael R. Fontham
Several Louisiana cotton gins sued Entergy, an electric utility company, because it had over-billed them for electricity between 1988 and 1994. The gins claimed that Entergy had failed to notify them of a lower rate that would have saved them more than $2 million over the six-year period.

I guess the fact that VY just handed the state of VT and Gov. Dumblin their assess in federal court really unhinged you. No loss since it's not like you were mentally stable before the decision anyways.
http://nsglc.olemiss.edu/SandBar/SandBar9/9.1...
"In 2003, Entergy sought a variance to its permit, which would allow it to increase thermal discharge. The Vermont Agency of Natural Resources (ANR) issued an amended NPDES discharge permit allowing Entergy to increase thermal discharge and raise the temperature of the Connecticut River by one degree from July 8 through October 14."
"The Vermont Supreme Court affirmed ANR’s decision to grant Entergy a variance, but reversed the Environmental Court’s additional conditions. Entergy hailed the decision a victory, insisting the variance request was based on scientific, peer-reviewed data and that the company is a responsible steward of the river"
The state may well try to limit VY's thermal input into the river in the future and I look forward to Gov. Dumblin and his lickspittle Sorrell getting the asses handed to them yet again. They better get moving though since Dumblin is going to be a one term governor.

Yes they do have to allow it. To not allow it would be an unreasonable taking under the due process clause of the US Constitution 14th amendment. That clause requires States to be reasonable in any requirements they make and the denial over 1degree of temperature would not be reasnonable. Especially since it has already been approved in the past here and just about everywhere else in the US.

Reasonable in its requirements? Killing off fish poulations & aquatic life so entergy Louisiana can make money is not a priority for VT. Again, it would likely be litigated but unless stopped, states have the right to protect water quality & regulate thermal discharges.
"One place anti-Yankee lawmakers and state officials may find a toehold is the so-called national pollution discharge elimination system permit. Issued by the state of Vermont, the permit governs the plant's “thermal discharges” into the Connecticut River, giving the state considerable influence over the cost at which the plant is able to generate power.
Water-quality standards stipulate that industrial operations cannot raise ambient water temperatures in Class B waterways, like the Connecticut, more than 1 degree.
But under an exemption in the federal Clean Water Act -- an exemption that hinges on permission from the state -- Vermont Yankee is allowed to raise river temperatures by 6 degrees as it uses water from the river to cool its reactor. But revoking that exemption could force the plant to adopt a potentially cost-prohibitive alternate cooling system, making continued operation uneconomical for Entergy."
