Petition for Investigation of VC Summer Nuclear Plant Failure

VC Summer was officially shut down on 07/31/2017, after Westinghouse, the main contractor had filed for bancruptcy and Santee Cooper had pulled out of the venture due to 75% over budget costs and other costs from the bancruptcy of Westinghouse. The State Assembly allowed via legal measures that all the financial risks for this venture were placed on the shoulders of the already financially overburdened citizens of the State of South Carolina.
The consequences are as follows:
a) the taxpayer has paid already via SCE&G increases ( 9 times) more than 1 billion dollars into the project and will be held accountable for another 4 billion dollars for the closure and clean up of this unfinished site.
b) the taxpayer will face the consequential costs of nearly 6,000 suddenly displaced and fired employees.
c) the taxpayer will have to provide for the unemployment payments and the other necessary benefits for those fired employees until they can find employment.
d) Fairfield county faces another major economical crisis that was not caused by their fault.
