It's nice to have a captive customer base. Georgia Power serves more than a million additional people now than it did when this thing broke ground. And somehow all the pre-existing customers, plus the million+ new residents, all have to pay $4 extra for the power generated here. This, in addition to the fees they pay for electricity.

It's no wonder Georgia Power doesn't provide a calculator to let people know how Vogtle coming online affects the per-unit cost to consumers.
