Nine environmental groups say they will ask a U.S. court to delay Southern Co.’s construction of two reactors in Georgia after federal regulators denied their bid to halt the $14 billion project.
The Southern Alliance for Clean Energy and Friends of the Earth are among groups that said they intend by April 18 to ask the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington, which hears appeals of agency decisions, to halt construction at Southern’s Vogtle plant while the court considers a previous legal challenge over the units.
