Citizens smell a rat on Entergy’s Nuclear Spin-Off
citizens seem to be saying that they “smell a rat”. Perhaps they figure that when it’s time to shut down and clean up these plants Entergy wants to be sure that their deep corporate pockets are not available to the states in question if the Enexus doesn’t have enough money to do the job.

This may be a terrific deal for Entergy and may be even a good one for the owners of the new entity to be called Enexus, but states in which those power plants are situated apparently aren’t so sure.
