Should a business be rewarded for failure? That’s the essence of a bill — HB 267 — that state Rep. Jeff Chapman, R-Brunswick, has introduced to try to hold down the costs of two nuclear reactors that Georgia Power is building at Plant Vogtle near Waynesboro. This is a construction project that will have a big impact on your wallet, whether you buy your electricity from Georgia Power Co. or from one of the electric membership corporations and municipal power companies that are also involved in this undertaking.
