Q-

A similar plant has been proposed for the former Maine Yankee nuclear plant site in Wiscasset, maine. A major concern raised was the tremendous volume of fresh water that was needed to flush the system out, and it was very dirty water by the time it was ready to exit. No one really wanted it draining into the river and then into Sheepscot Bay. Well, no one except for some construction people and a few city counselors who wanted to regain a major cash cow for a tax base; they really miss Maine Yankee paying 90% of their taxes. This plan appears dead in the water.
