Dominion Announces Plans To Close Kewaunee Nuclear Power Station In 2013

Posted by Unknown on from the natural-gas-is-forever dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Due to low electricity prices in the Midwest, and an inability to find a buyer for the power station, Dominion will be shutting down and decomissioning Kewaunee Nuclear Power Station. One of two operating nuclear power stations in Wisconsin, Kewaunee's license from the NRC was not due to expire until the end of 2033."

    I mean, why would the Dominion need nuclear power plants in the first place? Are they out of dilithium?
    And even if they did need nuclear power plants, why would they be in the Alpha Quadrant?

      I'd be more worried about the Dominion having a Nuclear Facility in Wisconsin!

      Maybe Mitt Romney is a "Founder" (Shapeshifter)
      It would account for his recent changes of policy if its not the real Mitt

    Windmills in space sound like a great idea! Satellites would look so much prettier with big turbines on them instead of all those blue panels.
