Hasty predictions by the press that the Ohio Supreme Court decision against the Cleveland Electric Illuminating (CEI) Company's bid to recover the costs of four abandoned nuclear plants would increase the risks of all nuclear plant construction and decrease utility flexibility to expand is an example of the press participating in events without all the facts. A careful reading of the decision reveals a sensitivity to the utility's position and a suggestion that the Ohio laws can be modified. The ruling is also limited to the laws of Ohio and not applicable elsewhere. CEI entered the Wall Street Journal articles with other materials in their petition for reconsideration, but their case was found to be too weak. (DCK)
