Why this verdict View evidenceHide evidence
Why we checked itSpecific dollar figure claimed as savings from the Millstone nuclear power plan — verifiable against state financial records or energy commission reports.
What we foundThe $400 million figure is real but appears to represent cumulative savings over six years from Connecticut's nuclear power contracts, not an annual savings rate.
CorrectedCorrection: Originally rated Overstated. Rating changed to Supported following post-debate review: the evidence confirms more than $400 million in savings from the nuclear power contracts; the claim gives a total, not a yearly figure. The evidence is unchanged.
