In this case the UP Depreciation Expense exceeds the AAR’s West Index in some cases, while CSXT’s expenses are significantly lower than the AAR’s East Index.

    Why keep Millstone open? (Business Owner) According to the Hartford Courant (2017), Millstone gives Connecticut the opportunity to reduce high electric rates, meet carbon-reduction goals and ensure jobs for the state.
