Nuclear power costs major concern here
High Point and 14 other Carolina cities weigh buying a nuclear plant from Duke Power. Under a proposed deal by the North Carolina Municipal Power Agency No. 1, officials estimate savings of 37.273 million dollars over eight years if the plant operates and power is transmitted over Duke lines. The plan offers 600 million dollars for the plant, based on Duke operating it and selling power through Duke lines, with some sale provisions rejected.
