In a daring move, Shumlin & the VT congressional delegation are lobbying president Obama to change the rules regarding decommissioning. Shumlin, claiming that the ‘Safstor’ option does not make sense, that there was not enough transparency concerning the details & that he, a senator at the time was not even aware of the option:

“And I’m asking the president, as is our congressional delegation, to re-affirm common sense.”

“But Shumlin – who served in the Senate at the time – said Safestor was news to him and the public until a few years ago.”
