They intentionally missed the deadline to prove to VT that they will not allow this backwards state to push them around. You after all state of VT will suffer if VY doesn't continue operating, not Entergy.

I'll be happy to start the suffering you speak of in 2012. Entergy doesn't have to be pushed around by its Vermont customers; they can just get the hel out. And your husband had better dust off his resume, he's going to need it.

Hydro Quebec has yet to agree to a power contract as well. With the VT legislature recent price guarentee for alternatives, perhaps these major sources for power are waiting to see just how much Vermont may be willing to pay for power? Why wouln't Hydro Quebec and Vermont Yankee try to get as much money for thier product as the market will support? Realistically all they need to do is come in under grid prices as alternatives are not base load. It would be a very black mark on Vermont's green image if VT decide to buy their base load from the coal fed grid!

All this is moot.With the most incompetent legislature in Vermont history, led by left-liberal wingnuts like Shumlin,these morons will NEVER allow this plant to operate past 2012, no matter what the facts are and how much sense it makes for Vermonters.

I would also add how mean spirited it is to tell someone to "dust off their husbands resume'.... What an imbecilic jerk!

New Clear Waste and Howard Weiss-Tisman are one in the same. So much for unbiased reporting in Brattleboro.

Daily Horoscope for December 20

Pisces

If you-know-who has been getting on your nerves recently, matters will soon come to a head and force you to take drastic action. As Mars turns tail in your sixth house, you might finally lose your rag with someone at work who's been testing your patience to the limit. Stand your ground if you feel you're being messed about in some way. Clear the air if needs be, but don't create a really nasty atmosphere by throwing an eye-popping tantrum. Take care of any infections.
