Uncertainty shadows Pennsylvania's debate over nuclear power

Uncertainty shadows Pennsylvania's debate over nuclear power: HARRISBURG, Pa.

In Pennsylvania, nuclear power plant owners have been working for two years to build support for the kind of financial packages already approved by New York, New Jersey and Illinois. Meanwhile, those packages have sparked legal appeals to the U.S. Supreme Court and a debate among federal energy regulators over protecting ratepayers from higher electricity prices.
