‘Grossly ill-informed’

The writer is grossly ill-informed and practicing the maximum of political spin.

1. Entergy and all other nuclear power plant owners don't control the trust funds for the decommissioning funds. They are independently managed. Her statement that Entergy will be free to play the stock market is not true. Do Commons readers think that Senator Bernie Sanders wouldn't have caught this if it were true?

2. Used fuel can't physically be moved from the spent-fuel pool until it has “cooled” for five years. If it was tried, it would overheat and crack or melt if not in water. Even if the Town Meeting votes to remove this fuel, it will still need cooling.
