Nuclear power station, costing way more than was promised?
Who'd have thunk it?

A whole lot of smart grid and other conservation tech that reduces demand could most certainly be purchased for less.
There's a proposal to build a 'biomass' electrical plant here in town which is being opposed on the basis of it's environmental impact and low efficiency. It's clear that much of the rationale for building new energy generation infrastructure is ignoring simple conservation solutions (there is effort on the part of some local energy providers to give people subsidized efficiency audits and upgrades).

Here's the colossal fucking we Long Islander's got last go round:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Shoreham_Nuclear_Power_Plant
6 BILLION DOLLARS......Not 1 watt of commercial energy.
DeCommisioned.
And how's it's gonna get payed back?:
On February 28, 1989, Cuomo and LILCO announced a plan to decommission the plant, which involved the state taking over the plant and then attaching a 3 percent surcharge to Long Island electric bills for 30 years to pay off the $6 billion price tag

Sheesh. And I hear Cuomo's running for governor... I was just hoping for some alternative to Paterson. I'll probably have to hold my nose and vote Republican on this one... (Somebody convince me otherwise!)
