                        CELEBRATING PLANT VOGTLE

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate 
Georgia's Plant Vogtle Units 3 and 4 for winning POWER's Plant of the 
Year Award.
  For 30 years, America hadn't seen the full construction of a nuclear 
reactor until the construction of Plant Vogtle's Units 3 and 4. Now, 25 
percent of the State of Georgia's electricity is sourced from nuclear 
power. That is due to Vogtle Units 3 and 4 entering operations in 2023 
and 2024.
  Georgia Power, Oglethorpe Power, MEAG Power, and Dalton Utilities 
should be proud of their years of hard work cemented in this landmark 
construction and acknowledged with this fantastic award. The 
construction has also led to thousands of new jobs for Georgians in 
addition to the clean, reliable baseload energy being supplied to 
households across the State.
  Plant Vogtle has done a great job innovating ways to provide the best 
service to the people of Georgia. I congratulate and thank them.
