Gov. Nikki Haley’s Response to Nuclear Fuel Deadline Failure

  COLUMBIA, SC (WOLO)–  Gov. Nikki Haley on Tuesday moved forward with her threat to sue the U.S. Department of Energy for the agency’s failure to meet a Jan. 1 nuclear fuel deadline, asking South Carolina’s top prosecutor to pursue litigation and collection of $1 million daily fine. “The federal government has, once again, failed to keep its promise to the people of our state,” Haley wrote to Attorney General Alan Wilson in a letter obtained by The Associated Press. “South Carolina will not sit idly by while DOE continues _ in violation of federal law _ to ignore its commitment to the people of South Carolina.”
