Nuclear Plant Venture Okayed
A South Carolina legislative committee approved a move toward joint public and private ownership of a nuclear power plant. The proposal would amend the 1895 constitution to remove a prohibition on joint ownership and set the stage for a two thirds vote in both houses and voter approval in November. It seeks to empower Santee Cooper and privately owned SCE&G to jointly own or operate generation and transmission facilities and to negotiate binding agreements.
