OK...so, it's not the kind of holiday lights I imagined

I've been meaning to write about spending the holidays at Lake Anna for weeks now but time has gotten away from me. So, while I thought I'd give a quick guide on finding the best holiday lights around the lake or Lake Anna holiday events for this weekend here's a strange twist...I found this article in my mailbox this morning instead. Let's just say this isn't the holiday post I envisioned.

Looks like Dominion Power has gotten an early Christmas present from the feds. The Richmond Times Dispatch reports:

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission has issued a final environmental-impact statement on Dominion Virginia Power's request for a site permit for one or two new reactors at its North Anna Power Station. Regulators concluded that no environmental impacts would prevent the permit from being issued and no superior sites were available. Any adverse environmental impacts from preparing the site and preliminary construction could be dealt with, they said.

Of course, there are always many steps in these approval processes. No one expects the permitting to be completed until late next year at the earliest.

Ho-Ho-Ho. Not quite the traditional Holiday post but I'm off to wrap some more presents and bake some more goodies.
