IAMVY, I am old



Google, googles up some odd marriages, search-wise but what does this say about Vermont Yankee? The flurry of news from Public Service Commissioner David O’Brien about Entergy putting the aging Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant up for sale found its way onto an anti-aging news webpage as the screen capture shows. Maybe poor VY, suffering the indignities of old age, leaking pipes, collapsing cooling towers and now up for sale is searching for a miracle cure.

Here are a couple anti aging insights offered alongside the thirty year old plant’s news link. From Salamat Dok a Philippine medical TV show that featured a discussion on aging asking:
‘Why look old when you can age beautifully?’ Maria Isabel “Maribel” Lopez. Winner of the Miss Philippines-Universe 1982! That was 28 years ago but the feisty actress with beauty and brains has not aged at all. What’s her secret?

Vermont Yankee IAM4 Sale



Entergy is actively peddling the aging Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant. The rumors Vermont Public Service Commissioner David O’Brien mentioned last week have proven to be true. According to reportsEntergy will make an announcement this week. Officials at VY didn’t respond but David O’Brien, continuing his policy of active public commentary on Vermont Yankee offered up his assessment of the value of the aging plant. David O’Brien is proving Entergy Louisiana’s most active broker,real estate agent or simply a nuclear used car salesman.

He stresses the NRC’s rating of the plant he never mentions the condition of the plant. At the same time he fails to mention why this sale is in the interest of the people of Vermont and turns a blind eye to leaking under ground pipes, a tritium plume and the dangerously under funded decommissioning fund that may leave taxpayer footing the bill.
What does Commissioner David O’Brien see as the largest hurdle to the sale of Vermont Yankee? He does note one environmental problem surrounding the sale.
He said its biggest liability is the political environment in a state with a powerful anti-nuclear movement and where the incoming governor and key legislators are longtime critics of it.
"Certainly the political environment that's developed in recent years in Vermont is a cause for concern for any potential bidder," O'Brien said. "That's real. That I would say is the largest hurdle" to a sale.
