Vermont State Supreme Court denies NEC, for now

As reported by the Brattleboro Reformer and the Barre Montpelier Times Argus, the State of Vermont Supreme Court has rejected, for now, a lawsuit brought by the New England Coalition (NEC) on Nuclear Pollution, seeking the immediate shutdown of Entergy's Vermont Yankee atomic reactor due to lack of a valid Certificate of Public Good from the State of Vermont Public Service Board (PSB). However, NEC attorneys expressed hope that they will ultimately prevail, once the Vermont Supreme Court considers the issue ripe for their reconsideration. The PSB is scheduled to rule on whether or not to grant Entergy a new CPG this August.
