WHEN:   Monday, November 23rd at 7:00 pm
WHERE: Norwich Congregational Church, Norwich, VT
WHAT;   A Public Forum: THE FUTURE OF VERMONT YANKEE

Vermont Yankee, the state's sole nuclear plant, is scheduled to close in 2012.  Entergy, the corporate owner of the plant, has petitioned to extend the plant's license for another 20 years.  That request is being considered by, among other bodies, the Vermont Legislature.  Vermont is the only state in the country in which a state legislature has the power to deny a nuclear plant relicensing.

Next Monday that choice will be discussed as expert panelists, citizens, local legislators -- and you --  participate in a lively and informed forum on the future of Vermont Yankee.  The forum will be held Monday, November 23 at 7:00 pm at the Norwich Congregational Church on the Green in Norwich, VT.  

Panelists:
 - John Dreyfuss - Vermont Yankee Director of Nuclear Safety Assurance.  
 - Arnie Gundersen ­Chief Engineer, VT Legislature's Vermont Yankee Oversight Panel.
 - Dave Lamont - Director of Regulated Utility Planning, Vermont Department of Public Service
 - James Moore - Clean Energy Organizer for the Vermont Public Interest Research Group
Moderator: VT State Rep. Margaret Cheney, House Natural Resources and Energy Committee.
