Kemper: Now It's Operations Cost -- Estimated To Be 4x Projected -- Wow! -- October 22, 2016

From PennEnergy:

The construction of Mississippi Power Co.'s Kemper County power plant isn't the only thing that might be costly. Documents filed recently by the company project that operation and maintenance costs will total $1 billion in its first five years. That's four times as much as the unit of Atlanta-based Southern Co. previously projected.

The amount of equipment, material and employees at the plant has increased sharply as the plant's total cost has ballooned to $6.9 billion. Mississippi Power says it will take more money to support that investment, a position that even Kemper opponents agree makes sense.

This was President Obama's poster child for clean coal energy. And so it goes.

I track this debacle here. Another ObamaTrainWreck. Less than 90 days.

Nothing To Do With Anything ... Except Sweet Memories

Wonderful memories. A most beautiful woman took me to see Charlie Rich in concert back in 1975 or thereabouts.
