Georgia Power customers could see monthly bills rise $9 to pay for the Vogtle nuclear plant

Residential customers of Georgia’s largest electrical utility could see their bills rise by $9 a month to pay for a new nuclear power plant ATLANTA -- Residential customers of Georgia's largest electrical utility could see their bills rise $9 more a month to pay for a new nuclear power plant under a deal announced Wednesday. Georgia Power Co. said customer s would pay $7.56 billion more for Plant Vogtle construction costs under the agreement with utility regulatory staff. The Georgia Public Service Commission's five elected commissioners must approve any deal, but such agreements are typically persuasive. With the commission's Public Interest Advocacy staff and three ratepayer groups signing on, the agreement is likely to avert contentious hearings over how much blame the company should bear for billions in cost overruns at two new nuclear reactors southeast of Augusta. Vogtle's Unit 3 and Unit 4 are the first new American reactors built from scratch in decades. Eac...

Stephen Curry injury update: Warriors star out with shoulder subluxation, will reportedly miss about a month

Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry will be out of the lineup with a left shoulder subluxation (i.e. a partial dislocation), the team announced on Thursday. While the Warriors have not released an official timeline for his return, The Athletic's Shams Charania reported that Curry will be sidelined for at least two weeks. Curry will not require surgery and is expected to return to the court in about a month, Charania reported during an appearance on Bally Sports.  ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski first reported  that Curry would miss a few weeks.  Curry left the Warriors' 125-119 loss after hurting his shoulder in the third quarter.

As Jalen Smith went to the basket, Curry reached for a steal and hurt his shoulder in the process.  Steph went to the locker room after appearing to injure his left s...

Anthony Davis has struggled to stay healthy in recent years, and now, he's expected to miss at least one month with a right foot injury, according to The Athletic's Shams Charania. According to Charania, the Lakers are bracing for an indefinite absence from their star big man. Davis gave the Los Angeles Lakers just 76 Game s over the past two seasons, but this season he appeared in 25 of the team's first 28 Game s. In staying Health y, Davis also played perhaps the best basketball of his career. On Friday, though, that stretch was jeopardized against the Denver Nuggets when he suffered an injury to his right foot. It came in the first half against the Denver Nuggets when Davis seemingly tweaked his ankle on a post-up attempt against Nikola Jokic. Davis wound up playing 17 minutes in the first half, but he did not come back onto the court for the second. The Lakers ultimately ruled him out for the Game...
