[[Category:Nuclear PR]]
'''Vermont Yankee''' is a nuclear power station owned by [[Entergy]] Nuclear.  It is located in the town of Vernon, Vermont and generates 640 megawatts (MWe) of electricity.

Thanks to energy market deregulation, Entergy purchased the plant in 2001 "for a mere $180 million. That's about half the price it would cost to build an equal-sized coal plant or wind farm." <ref name="Parenti">Christian Parenti, "[http://www.thenation.com/doc/20080512/parenti What Nuclear Renaissance?], ''The Nation'', May 12, 2008.</ref>
