Energy Net on 01 Feb 10"The judge overseeing CPS Energy's nuclear lawsuit frustrated lawyers for Nuclear Innovation North America on Wednesday as they tried to introduce evidence they said would show that utility executives knew they'd lose their investment if they withdrew from an expansion of the South Texas Project nuclear plant. State District Judge Larry Noll denied attorneys for NINA and parent company NRG Energy the ability to offer anything outside the actual language of the contracts to be submitted. CPS attorney Ricardo Cedillo wants Noll to rule that the utility has the right to withdraw from the project and that it will have no further financial obligations if it does - but would continue to own and control a 50 percent interest as a "tenant in common" with NINA."
