Spain extends nuclear power plant operation

Spain renews permit for 3rd nuclear plant in 2010

The Vandellos II plant license was going to expire next month, but now it's good to 2020; might run until 2027. Spain gets 20% of its electric power from nuclear, and supposedly the ruling parties (be the liberal OR conservative) don't want more nuclear plants; they might need to come up with a feasible plan to generate that important 20%.

Hydroelectric certainly won't do it for them.
