Based on the data within the EIS it is clear that the level of emissions from the plant are far less annually than the gas alternative. (refer to table/chart on 3-18, 3-24). The Oconee plant license renewal is the least invasive alternative that is still productive.
More consideration should be given to the offshore wind alternative. Although it does not generate enough power to fully replace Oconee, it may be able to reduce the amount of power required from Oconee. This may reduce the power requirements from Oconee and lessen the waste Oconee produces in the long term, even if construction causes some short term effects.
It seems as though construction is required under all alternatives except the no action alternative, which would leave the plant in the same position it is currently without the benefit of power production.
Ultimately, a renewal appears to change nothing or have any adverse effects on the environment that aren't already present from the initial construction of the plant.
