Georgia Nuclear Project Left Customers Centuries Behind and $17 billion Dollars Poorer
- The two long-delayed nuclear reactors in Georgia have finally started generating electricity at a cost of $17 billion over budget.
- Georgians have already paid billions for the project and regulators will decide if they must pay billions more.
- The project was supposed to revive the U.S. nuclear industry but faced massive delays and cost overruns.
- Similar projects in South Carolina were abandoned due to ballooning costs and schedules slipping years behind.
- The total price tag for the Georgia and South Carolina projects is now $28 billion, double original estimates.
