Yates, M

This article describes the first conversion of an idled nuclear plant to natural gas. The new investment was less than building a new gas combined-cycle plant. The nuclear plant was never completed due to financial problems resulting from regulatory and legal issues. The plant was converted as a joint venture between Dow Chemical, Consumers Power, and five other multinational partners.
