Tri-State plans to shut down the plant's first unit due to financial setbacks at the end of this year and eventually retire the two others by 2028. The closures could have a huge impact on the region’s tax base and economy. The Colorado Sun editor David Krause joined KUNC's Michael Lyle, Jr. to get more on this story.

That’s because his nuclear company, TerraPower, announced it’d chosen Kemmerer for a “first of its kind” power plant. It promised to pump life back into the economy. But unless you’re deeply embedded in the energy world, it mostly just felt like a lot of talk to residents – until this month, when the project broke ground.
