| Description: "There's a great deal of interest in economic development, jobs, reliable, affordable power for the future and I think the subject of Callaway 2 is going to come up because it's an important option for the future." | |
Wood says officials talked about ways to meet certain federal energy regulations.
A law prohibiting public financing of ongoing energy construction projects is the main obstacle to the plant's creation.
