Arizona Corporation Commissioner Bob Stump urged Energy Secretary Steven Chu to end a fee that would help pay for the development of a permanent nuclear-waste repository. The fee now serves no purpose because the government terminated the Yucca Mountain project, Stump added. "Why are Arizonans and our nation's ratepayers, who are working to recover from one of the harshest recessions in American history, being forced to continue to pay this fee, with no benefit in sight," he wrote in a letter to Chu.
