Any sane Georgians in the house? Call your rep and tell them to vote NO on SB31 - the GA Power rip-off bill. Regardless of whether you support nuclear energy or not, there is no need to pay for the possibility of building new reactors in advance of even the design being approved.

Shame, shame, shame on the State Senate for passing the bill. Now, it's up to the House to stop this insanity. The audacity of Georgia Power with their 70 (yes SEVENTY) lobbyists under the Gold Dome seems to be paying off by the millions .... are we really going to authorize another huge corporate bailout style payout on the backs of everyday Georgians? Hear Howard Clark break it down for us here (audio only).
