阅读刷题2012年text2课堂笔记
1段 ①A deal is a deal—except, apparently, when Entergy is involved. ②The
company, a major energy supplier in New England, provoked justified
outrage in Vermont last week when it announced 省略that it was reneging
on a longstanding commitment to abide by the strict nuclear regulations.
段落梳理:说好的是不能改变的! 但是,很明显,安特吉公司是个例外。该公司上
周声称不准备遵守佛蒙特州严格的核能法规的长期承诺,激起了当地人们的义愤。

it would not:challenge the constitutionality of Vermont’s rules in federal
court, as part of a desperate effort to keep its Vermont Yankee nuclear

3段 ①The conflict has been surfacing since 2002, when the corporation
bought Vermont’s only nuclear power plant, an aging reactor in Vernon.
②As a condition of receiving state approval for the sale, the company
agreed to seek permission from state regulators to operate past 2012. ③In
2006, the state went a step further, requiring that any extension of the
plant’s license be subject to Vermont legislature’s approval. ④Then, too,
the company went along.
段落梳理:这个冲突开始于2002年,当时该公司购买了佛蒙特州唯一一家核电
站。作为获得州政府对该交易批准的一个条件:安特吉公司同意2012年后对该核
电站的继续经营征求州政府官员的同意。2006年,州政府又提出,该核电站能否
延期经营要听从佛蒙特州立法机关的批准。当时该公司也无异议。

4段 Either Entergy never really intended to live by those commitments, or it
simply didn’t foresee what would happen next. A string of accidents,

5段 Now the company is suddenly claiming that the 2002 agreement is
invalid because of the 2006 legislation, and that only the federal
government has regulatory power over nuclear issues. The legal issues in
the case are obscure: whereas the Supreme Court has ruled that states do
have some regulatory authority=power over nuclear power, legal scholars
say that Vermont case will offer a precedent-setting test of how far those
powers extend. Certainly, there are valid concerns about the patchwork
regulations that could result if every state sets its own rules. But had
Entergy kept its word, that debate would be beside the point.
段落梳理:公司声称签署的是州之间的协定,但州无权管辖,所以协定无效。

6段 ①The company seems to have concluded that its reputation in
Vermont is already so damaged that it has nothing left to lose by going to
war with the state. ②But there should be consequences. ③Permission to
run a nuclear plant is a public trust. 大前提 ④Entergy runs 11 other reactors
