A Lingering Lawsuit: The Generation Tax

A Lingering Lawsuit: The Generation Tax

Though Vermont Yankee has announced it is closing, the lawsuits linger on.  The state of Vermont recently placed a "generation tax" on power plants with a nameplate above 200 MW. (Hint, there's only one such plant in Vermont: Vermont Yankee.) This new tax on Yankee is $12 million a year.  Entergy sued the state in federal court, but that court recently ruled that Entergy should have sued in state courts first.
