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.
