The company, a major energy supplier in New England, provoked justified outrage in Vermont last week when it announced it was reneging on a longstanding commitment to abide by the state's strict nuclear regulations.
这家新英格兰地区的主要能源供应商上周在佛蒙特州宣布，将撤销其长期以来承诺遵守该州严格核能法规的决定，此举引发了合理的愤怒。
Instead, the company has done precisely what it had long promised it would not: challenge the constitutionality of Vermont's rules in the federal court, as part of a desperate effort to keep its Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant running.
相反，该公司做了它曾长期承诺不会做的事：在联邦法院挑战佛蒙特州法规的合宪性，作为一项绝望努力，以继续运营其佛蒙特扬基核电站。
In 2006, the state went a step further, requiring that any extension of the plant's license be subject to the Vermont legislature's approval.
2006年，州政府更进一步，要求任何延长该核电站执照的申请都必须经过佛蒙特州立法机构的批准。
A string of accidents, including the partial collapse of a cooling tower in 2007 and the discovery of an underground pipe system leakage, raised serious questions about both Vermont Yankee's safety and Entergy's management - especially after the company made misleading statements about the pipe.
一系列事故，包括2007年冷却塔部分坍塌以及发现地下管道系统泄漏，引发了对佛蒙特扬基核电站安全性和Entergy公司管理能力的严重质疑——尤其是在公司对管道问题发表了误导性声明之后。
Enraged by Entergy's behavior, the Vermont Senate voted 26 to 4 last year against allowing an extension.
由于对Entergy公司的行为感到愤怒，佛蒙特州参议院去年以26票对4票的投票结果，拒绝允许延长其运营许可。
