New Nuclear and Coal Power Plants Test Energy Debate
In Snippingport Pa two large plants Beaver Valley nuclear station and Bruce Mansfield coal facility push the power pool debate. Beaver Valley costs about 14 cents per kilowatt hour versus Mansfield's two cents, with Mansfield featuring advanced pollution controls including a large scrubber and underground sludge disposal. Utilities see both sides as essential despite higher build costs for nuclear plants while coal remains plentiful, leading to a standoff on future energy strategy.
