In addition to the $14 billion needed to construct two reactors, the company estimates that it will spend approximately $3 billion for necessary transmission upgrades.
Although the new plant would make $1 billion in fuel savings annually possible after it’s proposed opening in 2016-17, it is expected to boost average annual costs for the company’s 1.7 million Florida customers by 3 to 4 percent from 2009 to 20018.

Lower demand for Ford vehicles has made this necessary for the company. This decision will effect Cleveland jobs along with those located at the Chicago and Louisville plants.

With 6 of the state’s counties making it onto the list of the US cities with the highest foreclosure rates, this comes as no surprise.
The 3.3 percent decrease in construction jobs experienced made December the 10th consecutive month that employment in the industry was lower than the same month of the previous year. The last time this happened in Florida was 1992. Through out the country December marked an increase in unemployment, as the national average went from 4.7 percent to 5 percent. This was the largest one-month gain since October 2001.
